Halochromism of a Polythiophene Derivative Induced by Conformational Changes and Its Sensing Application of Carbon Dioxide

Abstract: We report the design and synthesis of a halochromic polythiophene derivative, whose conformation can be alternated between random coil and rodlike phase by adjusting the pH of the solution. Distinct solution color changes associated with the pH-induced conformational transitions can be used to construct a colorimetric probe for sensing carbon dioxide. This probe can be recovered by bubbling nitrogen gas into carbon dioxide-treated solutions for over 20 cycles.

“…Fluorescent dyes often change fluorescenceemitting spectra and quantum yields based on solvent polarity (solvato-fluorochromism) and pH (halofluorochromism) [19]. Solvato-and halo-fluorochromic properties are determined by electronic mobility and conformation of fluorophores in the environment where the dyes are present [20,21]. Fluorochromism is generally troublesome for the development of biomarkers that must provide reliable, quantitative imaging results.…”

“…1a ). We had examined the halochromismic behaviour of this molecule 37 and also employed it for the detection of protamine. 38 At high pH (8.0–12.0), PT exhibits an absorption maximum at 407 nm, indicative of a random-coiled conformation of the polymer backbone.…”
