In this study, we observed different photoluminescence (PL) behaviors and the formation of enantiotropic smectic A (SmA) phases in the crystalline (Cr) phase for fluorinated tolane derivatives with imidazolium salts at the end of the decyleneoxy flexible chains. Notably, the derivatives with large counteranion formed the SmA phase in the room temperature region, and the PL behaviors were found to significantly change via phase transition between Cr and SmA phases.
