Abstract

The development of new organometallic materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics is pursuing due to their wide prospects in various application fields. In this work, we synthesized Au(I)-containing copolymers (P1–3) by copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomers, carrying Au(I) isocyanide acrylate unit and MMA in different molar ratios. All polymers exhibited AIE activities due to the introduction of the Au(I) isocyanide units. Increasing the Au(I) content in the polymers could effectively facilitate their emission. In addition, polymer P3 was demonstrated as a sensitive fluorescent probe for explosive detection.
