This review summarizes the polymer structures and various synthetic methods to water-soluble polyfluorenes (PF) and their derivatives which include poly(fluorene-cophenylene) s, poly(fluorene-co-benzothiadiazole)s, poly(fluorene-co-thiophene)s, poly(fluorenevinylene)s and poly(fluorenethynylene)s. This is followed by a brief survey on the polymer optical properties. Finally, the application of cationic PF homopolymers and copolymers in DNA sensing is discussed. © 2010 Bentham Science Publishers Ltd. | Source Title: | Current Organic Chemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/68162 | ISSN: | 13852728 | DOI: | 10.2174/138527211794474492 |
