Abstract

The family of conjugated polymers known as polydiacetylenes (PDAs) has been extensively utilized in designing stimuli-responsive colorimetric and fluorometric sensors. In the current study, we have developed highly sensitive and rapidly responsive colorimetric chemosensors composed of PDAs bearing imidazole (PDA-Im) and triazole (PDA-Ta) head groups for the determination of pH and the detection of HCl gas. In solution,
