Abstract:
Development of conjugated polymers with fluorescence sensing characteristics has received close attention from researchers in fields of environmental protection, biosensing and toxins detection on food. In this paper, novel polyaniline derivatives of poly(9-methyl-9H-carbazol-3-amine) and poly(9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren-2-amine) are prepared by facile chemical polymerization. Then they are characterized with NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy), FL (Fluorescence spectrometry) and UV-vis (Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy) characterizations and further applied to the fluorescence detection of different acids and amines. Moreover, the obtained poly(9-methyl-9H-carbazol-3-amine) displays excellent fluorescence properties in the detection for both acids and amines. Besides, this poly(9-methyl-9H-carbazol-3-amine) can not only be used for fluorescence detection in solution, but also can be prepared into solid state and applied in the gas phase fluorescence detection. This work has greatly expanded the scope of application to these polyaniline derivatives materials, opening a new path for the researches on multi-functional chemosensor.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
