ABSTRACT: The present study pioneers the investigation of mechanochemical synthesis based on polyphenylsilsesquioxane and β-diketonate complexes of scandium, yttrium, and lanthanum. It has been demonstrated that the degree of metal incorporation into the polymer chain increases with the growth of the ionic radius and with the decrease in the stability of the initial acetylacetonate complex. The resulting polymers exhibit high thermal stability, comparable to that of the parent organosilicon polymer. Moreover, owing to their developed surface area and light-transforming properties, the synthesized compounds hold promise for applications in catalysis, production of electronic materials, and fabrication of nanoelectronic components.
