SYNTHETIC RESINS AS DESIGNABLE SUPPORTS FOR METAL-BASED CHEMISTRY - THE ISSUE OF THEIR NANOMORPHOLOGY AND MOLECULAR ACCESSIBILITY

Macromolecular cross-linked ligands containing pyridyl pendant groups are characterized by a combination of inverse steric exclusion chromat ography, ESR and NMR spectrometries in water and methanol. On the basi s of the relevant results, methanol is seen to be clearly the best swe lling agent and it is chosen as medium for Cu-II coordination.
