Polymer complexes. LV. Spectroscopic,thermal studies,and coordination of metal ions N-[3-(5-amino-1,2,4-triazolo)] acrylamide polymer complexes

Novel polymeric complexes with a potentially bidentate ligand formed by amidation of 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole with acryloyl chloride were synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, ¹H-NMR, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductance, and thermal analyses. The molar conductance data reveal that all the polymer complexes are non-electrolytes. Spectral studies reveal that the free ligand coordinates bidentate to the metal ion through the oxygen of the carbonyl and azomethine of the heterocyclic ring. Elemental analyses of the polychelates indicate the metal to ligand ratio of 1?:?1/1?:?2. On the basis of electronic spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurements, suitable geometry has been proposed for each polymeric complex. The electron spin resonance spectral data of the Cu(II) complex showed that the metal–ligand bonds have considerable covalent character. The thermal behavior of these chelates shows that the polymer complexes lose coordinated water in the first step immediately followed by decomposition of the anions and ligand molecules in a subsequent step.
