Abstract
With the aim to develop new tetraphenylethylene (TPE)‐based conjugated hyperbranched polymer, TPE units, one famous aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) active group, are utilized to construct hyperbranched polymers with three other aromatic blocks, through an “A~2~+B~4~” approach by using one‐pot Suzuki polycondensation reaction. These three hyperbranched polymers exhibit interesting AIEE behavior and act as explosive chemsensors with high sensitivity both in the nanoparticles and solid states. This is the first report of the AIE activity of the TPE‐based conjugated hyperbranched polymers. Their corresponding PLED devices also demonstrate good performance.
