Fluorene-Based Conjugated Microporous Polymers: Preparation and Chemical Sensing Application

Network formation mechanisms in conjugated microporous polymers

Microporous polymers are useful for heterogeneous catalysis, separations, sensing, and energy applications. For example, there has been much focus on the capture and separation of gases such as CO2 in microporous materials. 1,3–5 Porous polymers are a growing platform for such applications. The broad family of microporous polymers now comprises several different classes of materials, including ...

Conjugated Polymers as Fluorescence-based Chemical Sensors

Reported by Jay Wackerly November 1, 2004 INTRODUCTION A chemical sensor is a molecule that interacts with another molecule giving a measurable signal in response. Chemical sensors based on conjugated polymers have received a great deal of attention due to their ability to detect analytes at low concentrations. Fluorescence quenching provides an effective means for detection because of the extr...

Extended conjugated microporous polymers for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water.

Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have been used as photocatalysts for hydrogen production from water in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor. The relative importance of the linker geometry, the co-monomer linker length, and the degree of planarisation were studied with respect to the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate.

Responsive Guest Encapsulation of Dynamic Conjugated Microporous Polymers

The host-guest complexes of conjugated microporous polymers encapsulating C60 and dye molecules have been investigated systematically. The orientation of guest molecules inside the cavities, have different terms: inside the open cavities of the polymer, or inside the cavities formed by packing different polymers. The host backbone shows responsive dynamic behavior in order to accommodate the si...
