✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Fluorescent derivatives of polyacrylamide can be prepared by reacting an acidic aqueous solution of the polymer with xanthenol and dibenzosuberenol. These reactions take advantage of the carbocation stability of these dyes when they are treated with acid (i.e., pK~R+~ values near zero). In this way the O‐alkylated amide that one expects to be formed is too unstable to persist, and, eventually, the stable N‐alkylated derivative is formed. UV absorption and fluorescence spectra for the labelled polymers are reported. The presence of the dye affects the hydrophobic–hydrophilic balance of the polymer.

A range of halide-sensitive fluorophores were bound to two hydrophilic copolymers. Thin films of the copolymers swelled in the aqueous media, allowing dye fluorescence to be dynamically quenched by the diffusion of halide ions. The resultant sensor films were characterized in terms of their hydrophi
