Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Molecular diversity in aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is limited by conventional synthesis.
  • Developing new materials with tunable AIE properties is crucial for advanced applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and synthesize novel neutral and cationic conjugated polymers with AIE characteristics.
  • To explore their potential for ratiometric fluorescence sensing applications.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of tetraarylethylene (TAE) and fluorene (F) based conjugated polymers using geminal cross-coupling (GCC) of 1,1-dibromoolefins.
  • Characterization of photophysical properties, including dual emission and aggregation-induced ratiometric fluorescence.
  • Investigation of heparin sensing using cationic conjugated polymers in aqueous solutions.

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized novel conjugated polymers incorporating TAE and fluorene units.
  • Observed pronounced aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) with dual emission bands.
  • Demonstrated ratiometric fluorescence sensing of heparin with a detection limit of 9 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Conclusions:

  • Geminal cross-coupling (GCC) is an effective method for synthesizing conjugated TAE polymers with superior AIE properties.
  • The designed polymers exhibit excellent ratiometric fluorescence sensing capabilities due to distinct dual emission wavelengths.
  • These materials hold promise for sensitive and selective detection applications.
