First example of PMMA-supported and highly luminous color-purity red-light metallopolymer based on a tris-β-diketonate Zn2 +-Eu3 +-complex

• Tris-β-diketonate Zn2 +-Eu3 +-complex
• PMMA-supported grafting-type metallopolymer
• High color-purity red-light

Through the copolymerization of a complex monomer [Zn(L)(4-vinyl-Py)Eu(TTA)3] (2; H2L = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)cyclohexane-1.2-diamine; 4-vinyl-Py = 4-vinyl-pyridine and HTTA = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate) with MMA (methyl methacrylate), the first example of PMMA-supported and highly luminous (ФEuL = 63.1%) color-purity red-light metallopolymer poly(MMA-co-2) based on a tris-β-diketonate Zn2 +-Eu3 +-complex is obtained.

Through the grafting of a tris-β-diketonate Zn2 +-Eu3 +-complex [Zn(L)(4-vinyl-Py)Eu(TTA)3] (2) in PMMA, the obtained metallopolymers poly(MMA-co-2) exhibit significantly improved physical properties including highly luminous Eu3 +-based color-purity red emissions (ФEuL = 63.1%).Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
