Hyperbranched Polyester Polyfumaratomaleate Doped with Gd(III) and Dy(III) Ions: Synthesis, Structure and Properties.

For the first time, metal-polymer complexes have been synthesized using hyperbranched polyester polyfumaratomaleate as a matrix, the structure of which has been established by H NMR, IR, electron spectroscopy, and elemental analysis methods. The formation of complexes with Gd(III) and Dy(III) ions involving fumarate and maleate groups of the polyester was proved by IR and electron spectroscopy methods. It was established that the structure of the coordination units has the form of a square antiprism. The compositions and conditional logarithms of the stability constants of the complexes were determined. It was established that complexation with lanthanide ions promotes emission enhancement in the ligand.
