Ag. Mirochnik et al., ENERGY-TRANSFER IN LUMINESCENT COMPLEXES OF EU-III AND TB-III WITH HOMOPOLYMERS AND COPOLYMERS OF ACRYLIC-ACID AND ALKYL METHACRYLATES, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(6), 1996, pp. 1356-1359
The influence of the composition and structure of a macromolecular lig
and on the efficiency of energy transfer in complexes of Eu-III and Tb
-III with ligands based on acrylic acid has been studied. It has been
found that a decrease in tile size of an alkyl group of methacrylic es
ters and a low content of acrylic moieties of Eu-III complexes with co
polymers increase the efficiency of Eu-III concentration quenching. In
sertion of noncoordinative alkyl methacrylate into the polymeric chain
results ill an increase in tile efficiency of energy transfer from Tb
3+ to Eu3+.
