Abstract

Polymers containing coumarin and Ru (BpyMe2) 32+ chromophores were synthesized using a grafting approach and also a copolymerization approach. It was found that the solubility of polymers made from Ru-containing monomers was higher than that observed for comparable polymers obtained by grafting of Ru complexes onto bpy-containing prepolymers. The resulting bichromophoric macromolecules exhibited enhanced ...
