(P(St-co-HEMA)MnP)
A mixture of MnCMPTTP (0.05 g, 0.061 mmol) and
thionyl chloride (20 mL) was refluxed for 7 h. After
reaction, the excess thionyl chloride was removed by dis-
tillation. The residue was dissolved in 1, 2-dichloroethane
(30 mL) and P(St-co-HEMA) (3 g) plus several drops of
pyridine were added in the solution. The crude product was
obtained by stirring the suspension at 80 °C for 12 h.
The polymer particles were filtered off and washed with 1,
2-dichloroethane, acetone, and ethanol successively. The
final product was dried for 24 h at 60 °C under vacuum.
Elemental analyses (C, H, and N) were obtained on a
Perkin-Elmer 240 Q elemental analyzer. ESI–MS spectra
were measured on a Thermo Finnigan LCQ DECA XP
spectrometer. UV–Vis and IR spectra were recorded on a
Shimadzu UV-3150 spectrophotometer and an Equinox 55
Fourier transformation infrared spectrometer, respectively.
The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were
performed with a JSM-6330F field emission scanning
electron microscope. An Iris (HR) inductively coupled
plasma (ICP)-atomic emission spectrometer was used to
determine the content of porphyrinatomanganese. Thermal
analyses were performed with a Netzsch TG-209 thermo-
gravimetric analyzer.
