Polymer-metal complexes of the alternating copolymer styrene and maleic aci
d with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) were synthesized and characterize
d by elemental analysis, infrarred and electronic spectra, and thermogravim
etry. In addition, magnetic measurements were performed and the electrical
conductivity was studied at different temperatures. Semiempirical calculati
ons at the PM 3 level were carried out to elucidate the geometrical arrange
ment of the polychelates. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
