Abstract

In this study we synthesized the novel fluorescent conjugated homopolymers P1 and P4 and the copolymers P2 and P3 containing proton-acceptor (pyridyl receptor) M1 monomer units and proton-donor (benzoic acid) M2 monomer units and investigated them as recoverable chemosensors for Ni2+ ions (based on adjusting the fluorescence energy transfer between the M1 and M2 moieties through varying the degree of hydrogen bonding). The levels of ...
