Synthetic, Structural, Thermal and Electrical Studies of Some Chelate Polymers

Abstract

Chelate polymers of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with 4,4´-dihydroxy-3-3´-diacetyl biphenyl-2,6-diaminopyridine (DDBDP) have been prepared. These polychelates were characterised with the help of magnetic, spectral (IR and electronic), thermal and electrical studies. Analytical data suggest 1 : 1 (M : L) stoichiometry. The thermal activation energies and order of reaction of all polychelates were calculated by Freeman-Carroll and Sharp-Wentworth methods.
