Conjugated polymers have enjoyed a great deal of attention for their application in a variety of new technologies, particularly for chemosensory materials. Fluorescent polymers of this type have been shown to demonstrate strong sensitivity enhancement that is attributed to energy-transfer along the polymer backbone. A model was developed that directly attributed the curvature of Stern-Volmer quenching analyses to energy-transfer mechanisms along the polymer backbones. This model applied successfully to the ttp-PPETE polymer system for the detection of aqueous metal cations. However, this model also predicts that energy-transfer enhanced quenching offers an opportunity for specific identification of aqueous contaminants. This is achieved through variation of the polymer fluorophore and will be demonstrated for aqueous metal cations in the polymer systems ttp-PPETE and ttp-PPE. Additionally, it is proposed to extend this model to the detection of organic compounds in aqueous environments, specifically endocrine disrupting compounds, EDCs.
