Abstract

Luminescent triarylborane homo and block copolymers with well-defined chain architectures were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of a vinyl-functionalized borane monomer. The Lewis acid properties of the polymers were exploited in the luminescent detection of fluoride ions. A dual-responsive fluoride sensor was developed by taking advantage of the reversible self-assembly of a PNIPAM-based amphiphilic block copolymer. Anion detection in aqueous solution was realized by introducing positively charged pyridinium moieties along the polymer chain.
