Abstract

Abstract : A self-reporting profluorescent release system driven by the thermo-reversible dynamic covalent ligation of chromophores to polymer chain, whose fluorescence is silenced by unpaired spins of nitroxides prior to release is introduced. Abstract : We pioneer a self-reporting profluorescent release system driven by the thermo-reversible dynamic covalent ligation of chromophores to a lateral polymer chain, whose fluorescence is silenced by unpaired spins of nitroxide moieties prior to release. The introduced technology platform holds significant potential for imaging substrate release events.
