abstract = "Through the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene (NBE) with each of obtained allyl-containing complex monomers [Zn(L)2(Py)Ln(NO3)3] (Ln = La, 1; Nd, 2; Yb, 3; Er, 4 or Gd, 5; HL = 4-allyl-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol; Py = pyridine), a series of metallopolymers Poly(NBE-co-[Zn(L)2Ln(Py)(NO3)3)]) 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 = 0.63% and ΦYbL = 1.43%) in solid state.",
