Cationic water-soluble dendritic poly(fluorene)s with positively charged amines on the exterior (PEP-G 0-2 ) can be prepared by a macromonomer (generation-by-generation) approach. The charge densities of PEP-G 0-2 can control their distances to DNA by electrostatic interactions. The PFP-G 2 with higher generation of dendritic side chains possesses a higher charge density, and gives rise to efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to a signaling fluorescein labeled at the terminus of DNA. These new conjugated polymers form less aggregates and yield more efficient FRET in a tetrahydrofuran/H 2 O mixed solvent as compared to in pure water. The sensitivity of the DNA sensor is improved by utilizing highly dendritic conjugated polymers.
