Extensive studies over the last fifteen years on new chromic conjugated polymers and oligomers have led us to the rational design of novel optical and electrochemical biosensors.  We have gained an international leadership in this field, as shown by many related invited lectures, invited reviews, and book chapters. Recent optimizations have led to the specific detection of less than 20 copies of genetic materials.

J.F. Morin and M. Leclerc, «Syntheses of Conjugated Polymers Derived From N-alkyl-2,7-carbazoles», Macromolecules, 34, 4680-4682 (2001).

Our synthetic work on conjugated polymers has led us to prepare, for the first time, well-defined and conjugated poly(2,7-carbazole) derivatives. This novel and promising class of electroactive and photoactive polymers should open new research areas in the field of light-emitting diodes, thermoelectric devices, photovoltaic cells, and transistors.  In particular, this novel class of conjugated polymers has allowed the development of light-emitting materials that cover the full visible range and this significant achievement has been outlined in chemistry.org (ACS), Heart Cut, October 28th 2002. We were invited to present our first work in this area at an ACS meeting (Boston, fall 2002) and to write a review for Macromolecular Rapid Communications (2005).

M.Ranger, D. Rondeau, and M. Leclerc, «New Well-Defined Poly (2,7-fluorene) Derivatives: Photoluminescence and Base-Doping», Macromolecules 30, 7686-7691 (1997).

For the first time, we have reported the synthesis of well-defined homo- and alternating fluorene-based conjugated polymers by Suzuki coupling reactions.  This publication has paved the way to a new class of luminescent and conducting polymers.  This important publication has already been cited 288 times.  This pioneer work was followed by other studies from my group on luminescent and base-dopable conducting polyfluorenes.  Our work on polyfluorenes has been the subject of an invited review in the Journal of Polymer Science, Chemistry Edition (2001).
