Poly(styrene) with Pendant Mixed Functional Ruthenium(ii)-Terpyridine Complexes

Heller, Marcel; Schubert, Ulrich S.
Abstract:
A vinyl substituted 2,29:69,299-terpyridine and a mixed, bifunctional ruthenium(II)-terpyridine complex bearing a vinyl and a hydroxymethyl group are utilized as comonomers for radical copolymerization with styrene. The resulting polymers are characterized by means of UV-vis spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography, coupled with an in-line diode array spectrophotometer.
