    An investigation of the mechanism of the fluorescence quenching by Cu²⁺ for a conjugated polymer system initially designed as a fluorescence  turn-on  chemosensor based on chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) is described in this paper. Unlike all other metal cations tested, the polymer/Cu²⁺ hybrid system with a 1:1 ratio between the receptor and Cu²⁺ has only weak fluorescence with λmax = 490 nm and a quantum yield of 0.004 in THF at room temperature. In solvent glasses at 77 K the fluorescence remained quenched suggesting that the quenching mechanism was due to energy transfer between the Cu²⁺ and the conjugated polymer backbone. The energy transfer quenching competes effectively with the electron transfer involved in the CHEF resulting in a more selective chemosensory system.
