Abstract

The construction of functional hyperbranched polymers with unique topological structures and distinct properties remains a great challenge. Multicomponent polymerization, as a fascinating polymer synthetic approach, has proved to be a powerful tool for the synthesis of polymers with diverse structures and multifunctionalities, which is a great advantage for the preparation of hyperbranched polymers. In this work, a multicomponent polymerization of alkynes, sulfonyl azide, and iminophosphorane is utilized for the construction of heteroatom-rich hyperbranched poly(phosphorus amidine)s with different topological structures and fluorescence response toward platinum group metal ions.
