This work presents the study of the flexible and transparent polymeric materials based on germanium sulfide, obtained using GeCl4 and 1,3-propanedithiol as precursors. Also presented are the properties of luminescence related to the inclusion of rare earth ions Er3+, targeting applications such as matrix for luminescent materials. The materials were characterized through the following techniques: UV-VIS, SEM, XRD, FTIR, Raman scattering, 1H and 13C NMR, TG / FTIR, DSC, luminescence and BET. These materials have transparency in the UV-VIS spectral region (about 70%), %), thermal stability up to 200°C and glass transition located at temperatures below 0°C (-37°C, -56°C and -45°C) as shown by DSC curves. SEM images showed that the polymer is homogeneous and presents formation of crystals in some regions of the surface These polymers also exhibit Ge-S bonds in its structure, as can be observed through FTIR (bands at 399, 401, 432 and 470 cm-1) and Raman (peaks at 361 and 430 cm-1) spectroscopies, and the diffraction patterns X-rays, which suggest the formation of a mixture of GeS2 and GeO2 phases (also confirmed through EDS analysis). 1H and 13C NMR measurements provided information related to the reaction between 1,3-propanedithiol and GeCl4, and also in relation to the structure of Geprop materials. The coupled TGA-FTIR technique was used to investigate the degradation of the sample. The luminescence results suggest future applications of Geprop samples as matrices for obtaining luminescent materials. BET analysis indicates that these materials have no pores (as also observed in SEM images). Taken together, the results suggest that these materials are good candidates for optical applications, besides the possibility of use at low temperatures.
