Abstract: | Quenching of the luminescence of carboxyl-containing polymer molecules containing a luminescent marker by transition metal ions (Cu2+, Ni2+) is observed not only in aqueous and aqueous-salt solutions, but also in polar organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide). In dilute solutions, quenching refl ects binding of metal ions with the polymer and changes in the degree of filling of the polymer carboxyl groups with transition metal ions quenching the luminescence. The equilibrium stability constant of the formed macromolecular metal complex in organic media can be quantitatively estimated from the quenching effect using the relationships that follow from the law of mass action. The formation and stability of Cu2+ and Ni2+ complexes with polymethacrylic acid in protic (methanol, ethanol) and aprotic (dimethylformamide) solvents at low polymer concentrations (0.4–0.02 mg mL–1) were studied using the quenching effect. In methanol, in contrast to ethanol and dimethylformamide, two mechanisms of binding of transition metal ions with different equilibrium stability constants of the complexes (\({K_{{1^{st}}}}\) > 3 × 109 and \({K_{{2^{st}}}}\) ≈ 106–104) were revealed. The infl uence exerted on the stability of the complexes and on the complexation mechanism by the nature and acidity of the organic solvent, polymer concentration, kind of the transition metal ion quenching the luminescence, and NaOH and HCl additions was studied. The results obtained demonstrate the efficiency of the luminescence method used and prospects for its further use for studying polymer systems containing transition metal ions in organic solvents. |
