Luminescence polarized

This review is divided into five sections. The first section deals with polarized luminescence as a physical phenomenon and with its phenomenological theory and the second section with some methodological aspects taking into account the distinctive features of the PL of macromolecules with LM. 

Section 3 is concerned with the methods of the preparation of polymers with covalently bonded LM that meet the requirements of the PL method and are located in definite parts of macromolecules (in the main chain, at its ends, in side chains of various structure or in certain structural fragments of branched chain and cross-linked polymers). 

Section 4 is devoted to some aspects of the experimental investigation of polymers in solution by PL. The results of the studies on the intramolecular mobility (IMM) of various parts of the polymer chain and its relationship to the chemical structure of macromolecules and the effect of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions on the IMM are discussed. Special attention is devoted to the relationship between the IMM of polymers and the intramacromolecular structurization caused by various factors (various specific intramolecular interactions or the presence of surface-active substances and ions of rare earth elements). This section also deals with the results of the investigation by the PL method of such complex and multi-component polymer systems as block copolymers, aoss-linked polymer systems and intermacromolecular complexes. 

The theoretical aspects of the micro-Brownian motion of polymer chains in solution in connection with problems of the PL are dealt with in Sect. 5. They include the problems of the shape and width of relaxation spectra and the most probable relaxati6n times manifested in the motion of a given labelled chain element, active in the PL, and the problems of the superposition of various types of motions and the anisotropy of local relaxation properties etc. 

The relationships of PL in the impulse regime are not considered. We will restrict ourselves to the consideration of the main features of PL under stationary irradiation since most experimental data obtained so far are based on this method.

In order to study the mobility of elements of crosslinked structure of CP, it is suitable to use their microdisperse forms [30-35]. On the one hand, in potentiome-tric titration the equilibrium is quickly attained for these forms and on the other hand the effect of light scattering in spectral methods of investigation (e.g., polarized luminescence) can be greatly decreased. 

The possibility of conformational changes in chains between chemical junctions for weakly crosslinked CP in ionization is confirmed also by the investigation of the kinetic mobility of elements of the reticular structure by polarized luminescence [32, 33]. Polarized luminescence is used for the study of relaxation properties of structural elements with covalently bonded luminescent labels [44,45]. For a microdisperse form of a macroreticular MA-EDMA (2.5 mol% EDMA) copolymer (Fig. 9 a, curves 1 and 2), as compared to linear PM A, the inner structure of chain parts is more stable and the conformational transition is more distinct. A similar kind of dependence is also observed for a weakly crosslinked AA-EDMA (2.5 mol%) copolymer (Fig. 9b, curves 4 and 5).

The tetracyanometallates exhibit strongly polarized luminescence that can be shifted between the near UV and the near IR (as it is very sensitive to the Pt-Pt distance) by choice of cation and by varying the pressure.

In this work, we have chosen several systems stabilized through hydrogen bonds. The homopolymer is a polybase, i.e. PEO, PVME or PVP, and the copolymer is polyacrylic acid with various degrees of neutralization a, in which the acrylates are the non active groups. Complex formation is studied by potentiometry (because complexation induces a variation of the solution pH) and by viscometry and polarized luminescence which respectively give information about the macroscopic and local structure of the complex in solution. The influence of parameters such as the degree of neutralization of PAA a, the concentration ratio r - [polybase]/[PAA], the concentration and the molecular weight of polymers is examined. 

The labelled polyacrylic acid PAA-M, used for polarized luminescence measurements, was prepared by grafting of 9-aminoacridine on the PAA-800 000 chain (15). The degree of derivatization of the polyacid (evaluated from the UV-vis spectra of PAA-M And 9-aminoa-cridine) is very low ...

These results are simply explained in the patterns of Figure 9 in the compact complex, the marker (M) is wedged in between the polymer sequences and its mobility is low. In the gel-like structure the mobility of the marker is not affected, because the marker is mainly surrounded by sovlent molecules since the cross-linking between macromolecules is very low. Polarized luminescence results lead to confirmation of the complex structure proposed from visco-metry studies.

Zircon belongs to the tetragonal system and is a positive uniaxial. The typical form shows the ill and the 110 planes. The two orientations selected for luminescence polarization study were the (110) plane, parallel to the basal section and the [100] row. In such cases the axis perpendicular to the (110) plane will be called X. The orientation notation is made according to the so-called Porto notation (Porto et al. 1956). The Xi(ZX2)Xi orientation means that the laser light entered parallel to the Xi axis of the crystal and is polarized in the Z direction, while the emission is collected along the Xi axis with X2 polarization. By polarization spectroscopy with a high spectral resolution (less then 0.1 nm) six lines are observed for the Dq- Fi transition of the Eu-II center instead of the maximum three allowed for an unique site (Fig. 5.12). In Z(XX)Z geometry which corresponds to observation of a-polarized luminescence we... 

The formation of a compact structure accompanying the complexation of PMMA with PEO and the lower flexibility of the PMMA chain in the complex than that of the PAA chain have been confirmed by viscometry [ 16], membrane contraction [2], and polarized luminescence techniques [3]. In addition, comparison of the dynamic light-scattering behavior of PMAA/PEO and PMAA/PEO" in solution shows that the pyrene label, which acts as a hydrophobic species, allows the labeled PEO to aggregate intermolecularly much faster than unlabeled PEO does [30].
