Anionic polymerization of nonaromatic maleimide to achieve full-color nonconventional luminescence

Abstract

Nonconventional luminophores without extended π-conjugation is a rising star in the area of luminescent materials but continuously tuning the emission color within a broad visible region via rational molecular design remains challenging. Here, the authors present poly(maleimide)s as a new class of nonconventional luminophores with fully tunable room temperature color emission that can be regulated by anionic polymerization
