55. 2 with stannylated bithiophene derivatives, selectivities of >90% were realized in all cases according to 1H NMR spectroscopy. In order to avoid the formation of any triarylborane groups in this step, a slight deficiency of the tin reagents was applied in the polymer substitution reactions.

60. The environmental stability of the polymers in the solid state is slightly higher than that of the molecular species; in solution, similar stabilities were observed for molecular species and polymers. Attempts to further improve the steric protection of the boron sites to allow for applications under ambient conditions are currently under way.

63. DFT calculations were performed with the Gaussian03 program (Revision C. 02, Frisch, M. J.; et al.; Gaussian, Inc.: Wallingford CT. 2004). Geometries and electronic properties were calculated by means of the hybrid density functional B3LYP with the basis set of 6-3IG(d). The input files and orbital representations were generated using Gaussview. Excitation data were calculated using TD-DFT (B3LYP) methods.
64. Similar changes in the HOMO and LUMO levels of arylboranes upon nucleophile binding have been reported by Yamaguchi and co-workers. See refs 2a and 5.

69. The different behavior of PSBMesNBT indicates that the amplification effect is not simply due to dynamic exchange of fluoride between neighboring boron sites.
70. The phenomenon of exciton migration in non-conjugated polymers is more commonly observed for thin films. See: Broadwater, S. J.; Mickey, M. K.; McQuade, D. T. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 725, 11154-11155 and references therein.
71. Cyanide-sensitive fluorescent probes based on boronic acids have recently been reported: Badugu, R.; Lakowicz, J. R.; Geddes, C. D. Dyes Pigm. 2005, 64, 49-55.
72. The slight emission enhancement of PSBMesNBT in the presence of excess chloride is likely due to changes in solvent polarity.
73. Similar anion selectivity was observed for the respective model systems.
74. Emission from tetracoordinate species is observed throughout the titrations of the polymers and model compounds with fluoride, but in the case of PSBMesHBT, energy transfer leads to emission only from the lower energy states at relatively low fluoride concentrations. This is consistent with the results described for the copolymer emission.
