Synthesis and chemosensory properties of terpyridine-containing diblock polycarbazole through RAFT polymerization

Synthesis of the diketopyrrolopyrrole/terpyridine substituted carbazole derivative based polythiophenes for photovoltaic cells

“…terpyridine moieties also have potential applications in chemical sensors for detecting metal ions and in light-emitting diodes. [16][17][18][19]55 Further modications of the conjugated PTs containing terpyridine moieties and an investigation of their performance are currently underway.…”

“…Because of their light weight, low cost, and exibility, p-conjugated polythiophenes (PTs) are promising candidates for various optoelectronic device applications, including polymer light-emitting devices, 1,2 electrochromic devices, 3 organic eldeffect transistors, 4,5 photovoltaic (PV) cells, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and uorescent chemosensors. [16][17][18][19] Polymer-based photovoltaic cells (PVCs) typically contain a layer comprising a blend of PT and a fullerene derivative. 20 The illumination of PVC creates excitons, which separate at the interface between the PT and the fullerene derivative.…”

Zn(II) detection in biological samples with a smart sensory polymer

“…Smart sensory polymers are a really hot topic [20][21][22][23][24], and have provided good results with easy procedures [25], so we propose a rapid, inexpensive and easy-to-use sensory material, which generates a visual fluorescent response measurable with a simple smartphone. Our material will provide rapid information about the Zn(II) concentration of the biological sample; corrective personalized treatments could be applied by the medical staff.…”

Synthesis, Chemosensory Properties, and Self-Assembly of Terpyridine-Containing Conjugated Polycarbazole through RAFT Polymerization and Heck Coupling Reaction

“…The fluorescence polymer exhibited a pH-dependent phase transition across the lower critical solution temperature, with specific intra-cellular uptake observed only under weak acidic conditions. In our previous study [ 37 ], we employed a two-step RAFT polymerization technique to synthesize a vinylcarbazole macro-CTA and a novel tpy-based block polymer, poly( N -vinylcarbazole)- block -poly[4’-((4-vinylphenyl) phenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine], to demonstrate the effect of a tpy unit on the sensory characteristics of fluorescent chemosensors. The final products exhibited a highly selective response to specific metal cations (Mn 2+ and Ni 2+ ).…”
