Poly( p ‐pyridinium phenylene ethynylene)s (PPyPE) functionalized with alternating donor–acceptor repeat units were synthesized by a Pd‐catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction between diethynyl monomer and di‐iodopyridine for use as a pH‐responsive fluorescence chemical sensor. The synthesized PPyPE, containing pyridine units, was characterized by FT‐IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopies. We investigated the relationship between changes of optical properties and protonation/deprotonation of PPyPE containing pyridine units in solution. Addition of HCl decreased and red‐shifted the fluorescence intensity of the conjugated polymers that contained pyridine rings; fluorescence intensity of the polymers increased upon addition of NaOH solution. The synthesized PPyPE was found to be an effective and reusable chemical sensor for pH sensing. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
