Summary: We describe a copolymeric fluorescent sensor that exhibits selectivity towards lithium chloride. The sensor is composed of two constituent polymers, one containing triphenylethylene (TPE) moieties for aggregate induced emission (AIE), and the other incorporating strapped-calix[4]pyrrole or secondary ammonium groups for self-assembly induced aggregation. Addition of LiCl in acetonitrile disrupts the host-guest crosslinks and leads to disaggregation of the polymer chains, resulting in decreased TPE emission. The lack of AIE perturbation upon addition of other salts demonstrates the high selectivity of the sensor towards LiCl. This supramolecular dual polymer approach can complement traditional sensor systems.

Summary: Two novel reaction-based ratiometric fluorescence probes (Phe-HBT and Me-HBT) were reported for the selective and sensitive detection of N2H4. The detection of N2H4 at low levels could be visualized by naked eyes under daylight or UV light with a fast response time of about 8.0 min for Phe-HBT and 16.0 min for Me-HBT. Both probes showed high specificities for N2H4 among potential competing analytes, and were successfully applied to detect aqueous trace N2H4 in various samples. The detection of N2H4 was also tested using smartphone application and modified fabric, demonstrating its potential value in practical applications.
