White light emitting systems of pure organic materials have attracted extensive research interest due to their better compatibility and functional scalability. The reported organic white light materials are mainly based on the multi-channel emission regulation of the compound itself or the mixing of multicolor luminescence materials, but studies on the dependence between multicolor luminescence and the external environment are lacking, which limits the application of these materials in areas such as identification and sensing. This paper reports that the 4- or 3‑hydroxyl-substituted naphthalimides NapH1 and NapH2 form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with adjacent molecules in the environment, and undergo excited-state intermolecular proton transfer under irradiation, resulting in blue-yellow or blue-red dual fluorescence emission, respectively. Since the two compounds have different two-color luminescence channels and the two-color intensity ratio is affected by the environment, and the intermolecular hydrogen bond is determined by the hydrogen bond receptor, polarity, and temperature in the environment, the full spectrum from blue to red light and white light emission can be obtained by adjusting the mixing ratio of the two dyes and the solvent polarity and the ambient temperature. This environmentally sensitive white emission is used to detect the alkalinity of different papers, and the dyed paper can be used as a test strip for acid-base vapor detection.
