摘要
A novel diimine ligand, 2-(2-pyridyl) 4-carboxyquinoline (pcq) and its corresponding polypyridyl Ru(II) complex were synthesized, characterized, and covalently attached to a carbazole based copolymer via post polymer modification. The resulting modified electroactive and multi-chromophoric polymer was readily characterized by UV-visible, FT-IR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and elemental and electrochemical analysis. Results from cyclic voltammetry and FT-IR analysis both confirmed the covalent attachment of redox active Ru(II) center into the polymer. The emission spectrum of the copolymer, in comparison to that of Ru(II) complex, demonstrated that the excited-state properties of the metal complex is maintained, in contrast to the electronic absorption spectrum, which is sensitive to the hydrophobic polymeric chain surrounding the redox sites. The thermal analysis suggested that this metallopolymer also possesses high thermal stability. The ruthenium content was also found to be 7%, which corresponds to 80% of the maximum loading, by elemental analysis.
