Abstract

A new approach to fluorescence “turn-on” chemosensors based on a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) strategy involving conjugated polymers has been developed. Two new conjugated polymers dea-PPETE and tmeda-PPETE were synthesized and characterized. These two polymers use diethylamino and N, N, N'-trimethylethylenediamino as receptors, respectively, on a poly [p-(phenyleneethylene)-alt-(thienyleneethynylene)](PPETE) ...
