Redox-responsive amphiphilic triblock copolymers based on poly(triethylene glycol monomethyl ether)methacrylate-b-poly(disulfide)-b-poly(triethylene glycol monomethyl ether)methacrylate (PTEGMA-b-PDS-b-PTEGMA) with different hydrophobicities of the PDS block were synthesized by step-growth followed by chain-growth polymerization.

In this study, disproportionation of freshly synthesized iodosylbenzene in boiling distilled water in the presence of triethylene glycol monomethyl ether was used to prepare ribbon-like iodylbenzene nanostructures with a wide length distribution (250 nm up to several microns) and a width in the range of 100–200 nm.

Abstract Although numerous fluorescent probes are designed to detect the pH value in the past decades, developing fluorescent probes for extreme alkalinity (pH > 14) detection in aqueous solution is still a great challenge. In this work, we utilized 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1, 10] phenanthroline (IP) group as the recognition group of hydroxyl ion and introduced two triethylene glycol monomethyl ether groups to improve its solubility. This IP derivative, BMIP, possessed good solubility (25 mg/mL) in water. It displayed high selectivity toward extreme alkalinity (pH > 14) over other ions and pH (from extreme acidity to pH = 14). From 3 to 6 mol/L OHˉ, the exact concentration of OHˉ could be revealed by BMIP and the whole detection process just needed a short time (≤ 10 s). Meanwhile, it exhibited good anti-interference ability and repeatability during the detection process. Through optical spectra and NMR analysis, its detection mechanism was proved to be deprotonation by hydroxyl ion and then aggregation-induced enhanced emission. Our study presents a new basic group based on which researchers can develop new fluorescent probes that can detect extreme alkalinity (pH > 14) in aqueous solution.
