Synthesis of fluorescent coumarin-labeled organic glass

详细

Polymerization of methyl methacrylate in bulk in the presence of 4-ethynylcoumarin and 4-butadiynylcoumarin (AIBN, 60 °C) leads to the formation of fluorescent polymers. A hypsochromic shift of fluorescence band maxima of polymer solutions is observed in dichloromethane. It was suggested using the quantum chemical calculations that 4-ethynylcoumarin is attached to the macroradical via the terminal carbon atom of the ethynyl group. The samples of fluorescent organic glasses were prepared. It was established that the addition of coumarins do not influence the microhardness of organic glass.
