The influence of charge sequence, monomers and co-polymerized method on properties and structures of the co-polymers was studied. The emission intensity of the co-polymers at different RE3+ concentrations was tested. The results showed that the co-polymers of Eu-PSt and Eu-PMMA both had wide absorption peak at 200-400 nm and the strongest peak appeared at 235 nm. The fluorescent intensity of Eu3+ doped polystyrene co-polymer was stronger than that of Eu3+ doped PMMA copolymer. The characteristic emission of europium ions was observed in the co-polymers. The copolymer doped with rare earth elements showed the 'sensitization effect' for the central ions. The bonded-type rare earth copolymer not only enhanced the energy transfer efficiency, but also improved the fluorescence intensity by increasing the rigidity of main and side chain.展开更多

The complexes are Ln(CH2SiMe3)2(THF)(1-4: Ln = Sc(1), Ln = Lu(2), Ln = Y(3), Ln = Dy(4)) bearing chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand containing bulky cylcohexane derivatives in the presence of activator and AliBu3. For the St polymerization, a high activity up to 3.1 × 10^6 g of polymer mol Ln^-1·h^-1 and a high syndiotactic selectivity more than 99% were achieved. The resulting syndiotactic polystyrenes(sPSs) have the molecular weights(Mn) ranging from 3700 g·mol^-1 to 6400 g·mol^-1 and the molecular weight distributions(Mw/Mn) from 1.40 to 5.03. As for the copolymerization of St and E, the activity was up to 2.4 × 10^6 g of copolymer mol Sc^-1·h^-1·MPa^-1, giving random St-E copolymers containing syndiotactic polystyrene sequences with different St content in the range of 15 mol%-58 mol%. These results demonstrate that the bulky cyclopentadienyl ligands of the chiral half-sandwich rare-earth metal complexes effectively inhibit the continued insertion of St monomers into the(co)polymer chain to some extent in comparison with the known half-sandwich rare-earth metal complexes.展开更多
