Fluorescent polymer nanocomposites of silsesquioxane cage-based anthracene (An-PSQ) and pyrene (Py-PSQ) were obtained by cross-linked polymerization of octavinylsilsesquioxane (OVS) with 9,10-dibromoanthracene or 1,6-dibromopyrene, respectively. The fluorescent polymers are insoluble and were structurally characterized by FT-IR and NMR. Polyaromatic spacer groups incorporated into materials could tune and rigidify in both micro- and mesoporous structures with high … Continue reading Cross-Linking Silsesquioxane Cages with Polyaromatics as Fluorescent Porous Polymers for Fluoride Sensing and Removal
