New Fluorescent Materials Based on Polysiloxanes and Boron Bis(β-diketonates)

Crosslinked polysiloxanes with boron bis(dibenzoylmethanate) complexes used as crosslink junctions of polymer networks are first synthesized, and their physicochemical, mechanical, thermal, and fluorescent properties are studied. It is shown that the polymers under study feature the elastic behavior, possess high thermal and thermo-oxidative stability, and exhibit intense fluorescence in a wide wavelength range (400‒700 nm).
