  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Well‐defined PDMS telechelics having nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) fluorescent probes covalently attached at both chain‐ends were prepared in two steps and a series of fractionation procedures starting from commercially available divinyl‐terminated PDMS having a broad molar mass dispersity. First, thiol‐ene coupling between 6‐mercapto‐1‐hexanol and vinyl chain‐ends allowed the formation of dihydroxy‐terminated PDMS telechelics through the formation of a thioether linkage. The resulting material was then sequentially fractionated using dichloromethane/methanol mixtures to afford several well‐defined dihydroxy‐terminated PDMS fractions having sharp distributions of molar masses (<jats:italic>M</jats:italic><jats:sub>n</jats:sub> = 99.5–158 kDa and <jats:italic>Đ</jats:italic> &lt; 1.2). The NBD fluorescent probes were then attached at both chain‐ends by <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>′‐dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine esterification coupling between the hydroxyl groups and 6‐(7‐nitrobenzofurazan‐4‐ylamino)hexanoic acid. The resulting fluorescent PDMS telechelics were characterized by SEC, <jats:sup>1</jats:sup>H NMR, UV–visible, and fluorescence spectroscopies. These materials are suitable probes to investigate the dynamics of polymer chains in bulk or at interfaces by the fringe pattern fluorescent recovery after photobleaching technique. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
