Donor-acceptor　(D-A)　diaryl　maleimides　have　received　widespread　attention　due　to　their　outstanding　aggregation-enhanced　emissive　(AEE)　properties.　Herein,　we　report　a　novel　rectangular　D-A　conjugated　macrocyclic　tetramaleimide　with　two　phenyl　and　two　2,7-pyrene　moieties　as　the　sidewalls,　while　the　maleimides　as　four　corner　linkers　via　dynamic　and　reversible　Perkin　reactions　under　thermodynamic　control.　Due　to　the　sensitive　D-A　conjugation　effects　resulted　from　the　multipole　moments　by　four　maleimides,　such　unique　macrocycle　exhibits　unusual　solvatochromic　luminescent　properties　with　a　typical　D-A　charge　transfer　(CT)　emission　feature　in　the　polar　solvents,　but　pyrene-like　emission　characteristics　in　the　nonpolar　solvents　regardless　of　the　concentrations.　©　2021　Elsevier　Ltd
