Coordination Polymers. 9. Chelate Polymers Derived from Bisphenolic Complexes and Propylenediamine

Chelate polymers derived from bis(2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde)propyl-enediimine M and bis(2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone)propylenediimine M (M = Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺) with aromatic acid chlorides were prepared by interfacial polycondensation. Also, chelate polysiloxanes were obtained from the same monomers and α,ω-dichloropolydimethyl-siloxane. The spectral, thermal, magnetic, and electrical properties of the polychelates were studied.
