A facile strategy to construct versatile fluorescent probes for the detection of Au3+ and nitroaromatic

Herein, p-phenylseleno styrene (p-PhSeSt) and 4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl acrylate (TPE-a) were copolymerized by photo-induced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization under blue light at room temperature. The selenide moiety in resulting copolymers could be selectively oxidized to selenoxide or selenone groups by H2O2 or NaClO, respectively, which caused the changing of structure and performance of the...
