Bl. Rivas et al., Polymer-metal complexes: Synthesis, characterization, and properties of poly(maleic acid) metal complexes with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II), POLYM BULL, 44(5-6), 2000, pp. 445-452
Polymer metal complexes of poly(maleic acid) and Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), an
d Zn(II) were synthesized. Elemental analysis, as well as magnetic, spectra
l and thermal properties, in addition to electrical conductivities of the c
helates were investigated, and possible structures have been assigned to th
e polychelates. Semi-empirical calculations at the PM3 level were carried o
ut on the geometrical arrangement of the polychelates.
