-aromatic chromophores have attracted much attention. Although there have been many relevant studies focused on oxygen-
nitrogen-
and heteroatom-containing systems
there is still a lack of researches on those polymers with only oxygen groups. In this study
three novel non-conjugated AIE polymers were prepared with hydrothermal method
in which the poly(maleic anhydride-alt-vinyl acetate) (PMV) prepared by “self-stable precipitation polymerization” is regarded as the raw material. The fluorescence and structural properties of these three polymers and their applications in Fe
3+
detection were investigated by using fluorescence spectroscopy
UV-Vis spectroscopy
FTIR
XPS and other characterization methods. It is found that all PMV derivatives have typical AIE characteristcs
and their luminious color is shifted from blue to yellow with the increase of hydrothermal time
in which the maximum emission peaks of these three polymers were 488
527 and 608 nm
respectively. The highest absolute quantum yield of 17.05% is obtained under the condition that the hydrothermal time is 1 h. Structural characterizations exhibit that none of the three polymers had conjugated groups
and the fluorescent mechanism may be ascribed to the intra- and inter-molecular interaction of oxygen-containing groups caused by hydrothermal reaction. Furthermore
the obtained non-conjugated AIE polymers can be effectively used for Fe
3+
detection. Particularly
when the Fe
3+
concentration is 5−200 μmol/L
there is a linear relationship between the quenching efficiency and the Fe
3+
concentration
which could be conformed to Stern-Volmer equation. In this case
the adjustment coefficient of determination is 0.9922
and the limit of detect can be as low as 1.22 μmol/L. This study provided a new strategy to prepare non-conjugated AIE polymers
