Synthesis and characterization of a fluorescent polymer containing 2,6-bis(2-thienyl)pyridine moieties as a highly efficient sensor for Pd²⁺detection

Abstract

A novel conjugated polymer chemosensor 1 containing 2,6-bis(2-thienyl)pyridine has been synthesized and exhibits a high sensitivity and selectivity for palladium ion detection based on the fluorescent quenching effect.
