Abstract:
By linking TPE moieties that exhibit aggregation-induced (enhanced) emission to the amphiphilic copolymer 1, fluorescent micelles are prepared and characterized. The polymeric micelles exhibit relatively strong fluorescence which can be tuned by heating and cooling. By combining cascaded enzymatic (oxidation of D-glucose with GOx) and chemical (oxidation of I(-) by H(2) O(2) ) reactions, the fluorescent micelles of copolymer 1 are successfully utilized for the selective detection of D-glucose in aqueous solution. The influences of proteins (e.g., bovine serum albumin) and reductants (e.g., ascorbic acid) on this fluorescence detection of D-glucose are also discussed.
