ABSTRACT
Herein, fluorescent conducting tautomeric polymers (FCTPs) are developed by polymerizing 2-methylprop-2-enoic acid (MPEA), methyl-2-methylpropenoate (MMP), N-(propan-2-yl)prop-2-enamide (PPE), and in situ-anchored 3-(N-(propan-2-yl)prop-2-enamido)-2-methylpropanoic acid (PPEMPA). Among as-synthesized FCTPs, the most promising characteristics in FCTP3 are confirmed by NMR and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, luminescence enhancements, and computational studies. In FCTP3, âC(âO)NHâ, -C(âO)N<, âC(âO)OH, and âC(âO)OCH3 subluminophores are identified by theoretical calculations and experimental analyses. These subluminophores facilitate redox characteristics, solid state emissions, aggregation-enhanced emissions (AEEs), excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), and conductivities in FCTP3. The ESIPT-associated dual emission/AEEs of FCTP3 are elucidated by time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) investigation, solvent polarity effects, concentration-dependent emissions, dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements, field emission scanning electron microscopy images, and computational calculations. The cyclic voltammetry measurements of FCTP3 indicate cumulative redox efficacy of âC(âO)OH, âC(âO)NHâ/-C(âO)N<, âC(âOâ)âNH+â/âC(âOâ)âN+, and âC(âN)OH functionalities. In FCTP3, ESIPT-associated dual-emission enable in the selective detection of Cr(III)/Cu(II) at λem1/λem2 with the limit of detection of 0.0343/0.079 ppb. The preferential interaction of Cr(III)/Cu(II) with FCTP3 (amide)/FCTP3 (imidol) and oxidation/reduction of Cr(III)/Cu(II) to Cr(VI)/Cu(I) are further supported by NMR-titration; FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses; TCSPC/electrochemical/DLS measurement; alongside theoretical calculations. The proton conductivity of FCTP3 is explored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and I-V measurements.
