Three polymer-Fe2+ complexes were synthesized from Fe2+ and poly(Schiff bas
e)s. The poly(Schiff base)s were prepared from 2,2'-diamino-4,4'-bithiazole
(DABT) with phthalaldehyde, 5,5'-methylene-bis(salicylaldehyde) (MBSA) and
terephthalaldehyde, respectively, and characterized by IR, XPS, NMR and ES
R spectroscopy. The magnetic behavior of these polymer-Fe2+ complexes was e
xamined as a function of magnetic field strength and temperature (5-300 K),
respectively. The hysteresis loops were also studied. Based on these resul
ts, several novel ferromagnets were obtained.
