Abstract
A new series of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) structures derived from arylethynyl 1H-benzo[d]imidazole was synthesized and processed into single crystals with the goal of testing such crystals' ability to act as optical waveguides. Some crystals displayed luminescence in the 550-600 nm range and optical waveguiding behavior with optical loss coefficients around 10-2 dB/μm, which indicated a notable light transport. The crystalline structure, confirmed by X-ray diffraction, contains internal channels that are important for light propagation, as we previously reported. The combination of a 1D assembly, a single crystal structure, and notable light emission properties with low losses from self-absorption made 1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives appealing compounds for optical waveguide applications.

Abstract
Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a silyl protected tetraphenylimidazole monomer and its homo and co-polymer. The requisite monomer was accessed by Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of 2-(1-(4-bromophenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol and 4-vinylphenylboronic acid followed by protection of the phenolic group by tert-butyl(chloro)diphenylsilane. The desired polymers were readily synthesized by using free radical polymerization. Both the polymers and monomer were characterized using different analytical techniques including multinuclear NMR, GPC (for polymers), and single crystal X-ray crystallography (for the monomer). By utilizing the greater fluorophilicity of the silyl atom, the polymers were studied as probes for the detection of fluoride ions. The selectivity and sensitivity of the synthesized polymers were investigated in detail. We describe the synthesis and characterization of a silyl protected tetraphenylimidazole monomer and its polymers. The polymers were studied as probes for the detection of fluoride ions. Both the probes showed high selectivity and sensitivity over other ions tested.![]()
