Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Mar 21;48(24):3009-11. doi: 10.1039/c2cc17856g. Epub 2012 Feb 10.

Abstract

Fluorescent conjugated polymer, poly(3-aminobenzoic acid), as a new class of fluorescence sensor for detection of trace amounts of water in organic solvents was developed. This sensor exhibits extraordinarily high sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 0.008 wt% for water in DMF.
