摘要

Abstract

A novel synthetic strategy towards pH-responsive aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active tetraphenylethene (TPE)-functionalized polyethylene-based block copolymers is presented. Tris(3-(4-(1

2-triphenylvinyl)phenoxy)propyl)borane was used to initiate the polyhomologation of dimethylsulfoxonium methylide to afford well-defined

-TPE-

-OH linear polyethylenes (PE). The terminal hydroxyl groups were transformed to atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiating sites by esterification with

-bromoisobutyryl bromide

followed by polymerization of

tert

-butyl acrylate (

BA) to provide TPE-PE-

-P

BA block copolymers. After hydrolysis of the

Bu group to COOH group

the corresponding pH-responsive TPE-PE-

-PAA block copolymers were obtained. All synthesized block copolymers revealed AIE behavior either in solution or bulk. Due to the pH-responsivity of PAA chains

the aggregation state at different pH and consequently the fluorescence intensity changed. Also

the synthesized block copolymers exhibited ion-specificity fluorescence properties.
