The ability to sense metal ions is a sought‐after property in the design of chemical sensors. The synthesis of a new metal‐ion‐sensitive poly( p ‐phenylenevinylene) that contains terpyridyl ligands in the side chain (see Figure) is reported, and the changes in its fluorescence behavior—quenching or a shift—induced by the addition of several kinds of transition metals are described.
