Abstract Through‐space interaction (TSI) has been proven to play an important role in the newly emerging clusteroluminescence (CL) phenomenon. However, it is still a big challenge to manipulate the TSI at the molecular level due to the unclear relationship between the non‐conjugated structure and TSI properties. Herein, the TSI in diphenylmethane is manipulated by breaking its symmetric structures and changing the isolated subunits. Finally, the CL wavelength and efficiency of diphenylmethane are successfully regulated at the aggregate state.
