Halogen-sensitive solvatochromism based on a phenolic polymer of tetraphenylethene.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we describe the successful preparation of a methylene-bonded tetraphenylethene polymer using a phenolic-resin synthesis protocol. Our novel phenolic polymer showed solvatochromism in response to halogenated organic solvents. Solvatochromism is induced by halogen/π interactions between the polymer and the organic halide.
