| Summary: | The development of high-level anti-counterfeiting techniques is of great significance in economics and security issues. However, intricate reading methods are required to obtain multi-level information stored in different colors, which greatly limits the application of anti-counterfeiting technology on solving real world problems. Herein, we realize multicolor information anti-counterfeiting under simply external stimulation by utilizing the functional groups and multiple emission centers of lanthanide metal organic framework (Ln-MOFs) to tune luminescence color. Water responsive multicolor luminescence represented by both the tunable color from red to blue within the visible region and high sensitive responsivity has been achieved, owing to the increased nonradiative decay pathways and enhanced Eu3+-to-ligand energy back transfer. Remarkably, information hidden in different colors needs to be read with a specific water content, which can be used as an encryption key to ensure the security of the information for high-level anti-counterfeiting.
