## Abstract Grafted conjugated polyelectrolytes were synthesized for the first time and characterized. The polymers demonstrated properties of a convenient and efficient protocol for creating Hg^2+^ sensors. The unique character of the new material comes from an anionic counterion nature with no ex

β¦ Synopsis
A new pyrene-containing fluorescent sensor has been synthesized from 2,3,3-trimethylindolenine. Spectroscopic and photophysical properties of sensor are presented. The large change in fluorescence intensity (I/I 0 = 0.13) at 381 nm and affinity to Hg 2+ over other cations such as K + , Na + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Pb 2+ , and Cu 2+ make this compound a useful chemosensor for Hg 2+ detection in hydrophilic media. The sensor (6.0 Γ 10 Γ6 M) displays significant fluorescence quenching upon addition of Hg 2+ in pH 7.4 HEPES buffer without excimer formation. Job's plot analysis shows the binding stoichiometry to be 2:1 (host/guest).
