In the present work, a novel photochemical approach based on visible light induced Type II photoinitiation for the preparation of clickable hydrogels is presented. Fluorescent pyrene groups were successfully incorporated onto the hydrogels via these clickable sites. Its synthetic validity for macromolecular synthesis is also demonstrated through a model photopolymerization process.
