Abstract

Abstract Three novel electron donor–acceptor conjugated polymers (P1–P3) bearing various imidazole pendants have been synthesized. Their excellent photophysical and electrochemical properties make them suitable transduction materials for chemosensing applications. Indeed, polymers P1–P3 have been found to show remarkable sensing capabilities towards H+ and Fe 2+ in semi-aqueous solutions. Upon titration with H+, ...
