New strategies that can simultaneously detect and remove highly toxic environmental pollutants such as heavy metal ions are still in urgent need. Herein, through supramolecular host–guest interactions, a fluorescent supramolecular polymer has been facilely constructed from a newly designed [2]­biphe...
