Abstract

Through the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene (NBE) with each of the obtained allyl-containing complex monomers {[Ln3(L)4Cl4(MeOH)2]·Cl} (Ln = La, 1; Nd, 2; Yb, 3; Er, 4 or Gd, 5; HL = 4-allyl-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol), a series of metallopolymers Poly({[Ln3(L)4Cl4(MeOH)2]·Cl}-co-NBE) were obtained, respectively. Especially for Poly(NBE-co-2) and Poly(NBE-co-3), covalently-bonded grafting endows significantly improved physical properties including efficient NIR luminescence (ΦNdL = 0.58% and ΦYbL = 0.88%) in solid state.
