A new monomeric fluorophore N ‐acryl‐ N' ‐(quinolin‐8‐yl)thiourea (AQT) was synthesized. Free radical copolymerization was carried out in order to prepare a water‐soluble fluorescent copolymer, based on N ‐isopropylacrylamide. The fluorescent characteristic of the aqueous solutions of copolymers was investigated both in varied pH and in the presence of metal cations. The polymer‐ contained AQT was found to be a selective chemosensor for Ni, Pb, Co ions especially for Co ion. The obtained copolymers show thermo‐sensitive lower critical solution temperature (LCST) ranging from 32.5 to 37.5°C with varied ratios of AQT, N, N ‐dimethylacrylamide and N ‐isopropylamide.
