A main-chain type polybenzoxazine, PBz (1), with pyridinyl moieties was prepared. When the THF dilute solution of PBz (1) was protonated with HCl, a new absorption signal at 458 nm was observed in the UV-vis spectrum. After being excited at 458 nm, a strong emission at 570 nm was observed in the fluorescence spectrum. This result suggests that the pyridinyl-containing PBz (1) can be used as a proton sensor.
