A novel achiral polymer P-1 is synthesized by the polymerization of (2,5-bis(octyloxy)-1,4-phenylene)diboronic acid (M-1) with pyridine-2,6-diylbis(methanylylidene)bis(4-iodoaniline)(M-2) via Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. The tridentate ligand in the main chain backbone can further coordinate with Cu2+ to afford the corresponding achiral copper-containing polymer complex P-2, which selectively responds to L-/D-histidine with significant fluorescence enhancement over other amino acids. Interestingly, P-2 exhibits obvious CD response toward L- or D-histidine compared with its model compound MC, indicating that this kind Cu(II)-containing polymer complex sensor can be used as an effective chemosensor for enantioselective recognition of histidine enantiomers by means of CD spectroscopy.
