Due to its amphoteric nature the imidazole ring can function as selective and effective anion
and/or cation and even neutral organic molecules receptor system. As a result, the design of …

The detection of key ions in environmental samples has garnered significant attention in
recent years in the pursuit of a cleaner environment for living organisms. Bifunctional and …

In this paper, tetraphenylethylene (TPE) units, one of the typical aggregation-induced
emission (AIE) moieties, are utilized to construct a new functional polyfluorene (PF) P1 …

Fluorescence probes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property have attracted much
research interest and have been identified as novel fluorescence biosensors with “turn-on” …

Selective detection of cyanide anions is realized via electrofluorochromism of a
benzothiadiazole-containing conjugated copolymer because oxidative fluorescence …

Based on a Hg2+-promoted deprotection reaction of dithioacetal, the conjugated polymer
PDT was designed. PDT exhibited significant fluorescence enhancement along with an …

A triphenylamine-based fluorescent probe 1 with larger Stokes shift (∼ 141 nm) has been
synthesized, which can make an efficient nucleophilic addition by reacting with CN− in …

Five new chemosensors (R1–R5), possessing benzoquinone as the signaling unit and
imidazole as the H-bond donor unit, for cyanide sensing have been rationally designed …

3′-Dicyanovinyl terthiophene 3 was synthesized and the changes in absorption and
emission properties of 3 in the presence of various anions were evaluated. Compound 3 …

To develop sensitive and selective CN− chemosensors, a new polyfluorene (P2) bearing
pyridine moieties was designed and obtained conveniently, the fluorescence of which could …
