Abstract

A hydroxyquinoline functionlized polynorbornene (P1) was designed and synthesized. In an aqueous solution, P1 shows a “turn-on” fluorescence response for Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ with a 50 nm blue shift. Furthermore, both P1-Zn²⁺ and P1-Cd²⁺ complexes were found to respond to pyrophosphate (PPi) over other important biological anions via a fluorescence quenching effect. P1 is also capable of monitoring intracellular Zn²⁺ and PPi in real time.
