A new non-ionic water-soluble polyfluorene that contains two benzo-18-crown-6 side chains per repeat unit (PFDC) is synthesized and characterized. Upon addition of Pb 2+ ions to a solution of PFDC, the PFDC fluorescence is strongly quenched. The minor interference from other metal ions, especial from Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ ions, clearly shows that the PFDC can be used to detect Pb 2+ ions with high selectivity. The fluorescence quenching of PFDC in solution originates from the multivalent coordination of the crown-ether moieties to Pb 2+ ions followed by precipitation. In comparison to ionic conjugated polymers, the pH of the medium shows less effect on the binding of non-ionic PFDC to Pb 2+ ions.
