Herein, we report the unique solid-state excimer emission of three types of acridine-tethered o-carboranes with variable degrees of methylation at the o-carborane unit. They all showed columnar packing structures based on dimer formation, and two types of π-overlapping motifs were alternately stacked. From the photoluminescence (PL) measurements on the crystalline samples, it was found that three types of luminescence bands can simultaneously appear: monomer emission, excimer emission from the moderately π-stacked intra-dimer unit, and excimer emission from the widely π-stacked inter-dimer unit. Consequently, the PL colors were drastically changed by the steric effect of the methyl groups, with a strong correlation found between the π-overlapping and excimer character. In addition, variable-temperature PL measurements revealed that these PL species should be in thermal equilibrium at room temperature, with the intensity ratios sensitive toward temperature changes.
