Spin fluorescence silencing enables an efficient thermally driven self-reporting polymer release system

Abstract

We pioneer a self-reporting profluorescent release system driven by the thermo-reversible dynamic covalent ligation of chromophores to a lateral polymer chain, whose fluorescence is silenced by unpaired spins of nitroxide moieties prior to release. The introduced technology platform holds significant potential for imaging substrate release events.
