RT Journal Article T1 Functional fluorescent aramids: aromatic polyamides containing a dipicolinic acid derivative as luminescent converters and sensory materials for the fluorescence detection and quantification of Cr(vi), Fe(iii) and Cu(ii) A1 Barrio-Manso, José Luis A1 Calvo González, Patricia A1 García García, Félix Clemente A1 Pablos Lagartos, Jesús Luis A1 Torroba Pérez, Tomás A1 García Pérez, José Miguel AB This work describes the preparation of luminescent, high-performance aromatic polyamides. The fluorescent behaviour was achieved by preparing a diacid monomer containing a fluorescent dipicolinic acid derivative and polymerising it with commercially available aromatic diacid and diamine monomers to give polyisophthalamides. These materials can be structurally compared to commercialised meta-aramid fibres [poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide), brand names: NOMEX® and Teijinconex®]. The pendant fluorescent motif provided the material with a light green fluorescence and was found to be a selective host unit for cations of environmental, biomedical and industrial significance [Cr(VI), Fe(III) and Cu(III)].
