Polymer-metal complexes: Synthesis, characterization, and properties of poly(maleic acid) metal complexes with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II)

摘要

Polymer metal complexes of poly(maleic acid) and Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) were syntehsized. Elemental analysis, as well as magnetic, spectral and thermal properties, in addition to electrical conductivities of the chelates were investigated, and possible structures have been assigned to the polychelates. Semi-empirical calcualtions at the PM3 level were carried out on the geometrical arrangement of the polychelates.
