- Abstract:
- A synthetic approach toward the synthesis of well-defined copolymers with attached phosphorescent
iridium(III) emitters is presented. A reactive m-hydroxy-bridged precursor complex
has been utilized to coordinate suitable ligand sites of a methacrylate-based copolymer. The
starting copolymer has been synthesized via
the reversible addition fragmentation chain
transfer (RAFT) polymerization technique.
Using a reactive complex species, the coordination
reaction at the copolymer could be performed
under very mild conditions in the
absence of any supporting additives.
