Macromolecule — Metal complexes based on salts of unsaturated mono- and dicarboxylic acids: Synthesis and characterization

The radical polymerization and copolymerization of salts of unsaturated carboxylic acids were used for the production of metal-containing polymers. The kinetic peculiarities and copolymerization parameters were estimated. The synthesis and structure of transition metal acrylates, maleates, fumarates, and itaconates are discussed. The influence of the metal atom on salt reactivities and reaction rates is observed.
