Savchenko, I., Berezhnytska, A., Smola, S., Ivakha, N. (2013). Synthesis and Characterization of Copolymers of Lantanide Complexes with Styrene. French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry, 1(1), 94–99.

Сopolymers of 2-methyl-5-phenylpentene-1-dione-3,5 with styrene in ratio 5:95, which containing Eu, Yb and Eu, Yb with 1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized at the first time. The luminescence spectra of obtained metal complexes and copolymers in solutions, films and solid state are investigated and analyzed. The solubilization of β-diketonate complexes with phenanthroline was shown to change luminescence intensity in such complexes. Obtained copolymers can be used as potential materials for organic light-emitting devices.
