Abstract:

Three kinds of novel polyesters containing 8-hydroxyquinoline side groups(P7~P9) were synthesized, and subsequently their zinc complexes(P7-Zn~P9-Zn) and aluminum complexes(P7-Al~P9-Al) were obtained by reactions with zinc acetate and aluminum chloride, respectively. The structures and properties of polyesters and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared(IR), ultraviolet-visable spectroscopy(UV-Vis), proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR), gel permeation chromatography(GPC), thermogravimetric analysis(TG), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The polyesters obtained are soluble in N,N-dimethyl formamide(DMF), N,N-dimethyl acetamide(DMAC), dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO), and N-methyl pyrrolidone(NMP). Complexes P7-Zn~P9-Zn and P7-Al~P9-Al can be partially dissolved in DMF, DMAC, DMSO and NMP. The Mw and polydispersity index(PDI) of P7~P9 are 1.79×104, 2.14×104 and 2.52×104 g/mol and 1.54, 1.64 and 1.72 , respectively. The 5% mass loss temperatures of P7~P9, P7-Zn~P9-Zn and P7-Al~ P9-Al are 291.6, 291.3, 284.9, 348.7, 339.2, 334.6, 316.1, 316.7 and 316.0 ℃, respectively. The glass transition temperatures(Tg) of P7~P9 are 121.8, 106.2 and 91.3 ℃, respectively, and Tg of their metal complexes are all higher than 180 ℃. Fluorescence emission peaks of P7~P9 in DMF solution appear at 413~418 nm, emitting weak purple light. Fluorescence emission peaks of P7-Zn~P9-Zn and P7-Al~P9-Al in DMF solution emerged at 509~513 and 485~487 nm, respectively, emitting strong green light, Fluorescence emission peaks of P7-Zn~P9-Zn and P7-Al~P9-Al in solid state located at 516~519 and 492~497 nm, respectively, emitting strong green light. The fluorescence quantum yields of P7~P9, P7-Zn~P9-Zn and P7-Al~P9-Al are 5.5%~8.4%, 21%~28% and 23%~29%, respectively.
