Abstract

Abstract : A chameleon polymer could be color‐tuned easily, directly, and reversibly by metal coordination without changes to the main‐chain skeleton. In their Communication onpage 13427 ff., J. Terao et al. describe efficient emission from the metalated polymer even in the solid state, which is due to the permethylated α‐cyclodextrin based insulation structure of the chameleon polymer. The synthesized polymer is expected to be suitable for application in recyclable luminescent sensors to distinguish different metal ions.
