ABSTRACT

The complexes of Nd, Er, Eu, Gd, Yb, Sm, Pr, Lu, Ho with 2-methyl-5- phenylpenten-1-3,5-dion (mphpd) and allyl-3-oxo-butanoate (allyl) were synthesized. The polycomplexes on their basis and copolymers with styrene and N-vinylcarbazole in ratio 5:95 were obtained by free-radical polymerization and the kinetics of polymerization was studied by dilatometric method at the first time. The results of above studies have shown that the configuration of the chelate unit is unchanged during the polymerization. The similarity of monomers electronic absorption spectra with polymers spectra confirms the identical coordinative environment of lanthanide ions in both cases. The method of dynamic light scattering and the results of electronic microscopy showed that the obtained polymer systems are nanoscale. The luminescent spectra of obtained metal complexes in solid state and solutions are investigated and analyzed. The solubilization of europium β-diketonate complexes with phenanthroline was shown to change luminescence intensity in such complexes.
