Poly(styrene-alt-maleic acid)–metal complexes with divalent metal ions. synthesis, characterization, and physical properties
Abstract
Polymer–metal complexes of the alternating copolymer styrene and maleic acid with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrarred and electronic spectra, and thermogravimetry. In addition, magnetic measurements were performed and the electrical conductivity was studied at different temperatures. Semiempirical calculations at the PM 3 level were carried out to elucidate the geometrical arrangement of the polychelates. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 81: 1310–1315, 2001
