Abstract

Abstract A series of novel fluoride anion responsive materials were facilely prepared by complex formation of poly( N -vinylcarbazole) with organoboron compounds in tetrahydrofuran. After addition of fluoride anion, visual color changes of fluorescence emission from green to blue were observed. The 11 B NMR spectra shown that poly( N -vinylcarbazole)-borane complexes were converted to poly( N -vinylcarbazole) and fluoroborate in the presence of fluoride anion. Among the obtained poly( N -vinylcarbazole)-borane complexes prepared, poly( N -vinylcarbazole)-triethylborane complex exhibited the most distinct visual changes in fluorescence emissions.
