摘要
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has been used to synthesize a star-shaped light-harvesting polymer comprising six diblock copolymer arms of styryl coumarin (St-Coumarin) and methyl acrylate (MA) surrounding a ruthenium (11) trisbipyridyl energy trap core. The efficiency of excitation energy transfer from the styryl cournarin units to the Ru(II) core is increased to 90% compared to 60% for the analogous star polymer without MA blocks. The enhanced excitation energy transfer efficiency arises from the role of the MA blocks in diminishing the competitive quenching of photoexcited St-cournarin chromophores by dithiobenzoyl polymer end groups present from the RAFT polymerization procedure.
