Title: Synthesis and electrostatic multilayer assembly of an acridine-containing polymer with properties of an optical sensor

Keywords: CONJUGATED POLYMERS; FLUORESCENT CHEMOSENSORS; COMPLEXES; LUMINESCENCE; RECOGNITION; AFFINITY

Abstract: We have synthesized an acridine-containing polymer linked with alkyl amide via simple polycondensation reaction. It was found that the polymer exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity toward ferric ions indicating that this polymeric material would be an efficient fluorescence sensor for ferric ions. The formation of self-assembled multilayers was carried out via layer-by-layer deposition technique between the acridine-containing polymer and poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate).
