Description
Summary:This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of alkyne-based multilayered three-dimensional (3D) polymers, which exhibit a subtle aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon. The polymers demonstrate significant potential as fluorescent probes for the selective detection of chromium (VI) ions (Cr<sup>6</sup>⁺), showcasing their utility in environmental sensing applications. Additionally, the circular dichroism (CD) spectra reveal a pronounced cotton effect, indicative of chiral properties, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scatting (DLS) analysis reveal a distinctive rock-like surface morphology and Cr<sup>6+</sup> sensitive anti-aggregation. These findings highlight the multifunctional capabilities of alkyne-based multilayered 3D polymers, suggesting their applicability in both fluorescence-based sensing and materials science. The insights gained from this research contribute to the development of advanced materials with tailored optical properties for environmental monitoring and other practical applications.
