Poly-4-[(pyridin-2-yl-imino)methyl]benzene-1,3-diol (P-4-PIMBD) was synthesized via the oxidative polycondensation reaction by using sodium hypo chloride (NaOCl) oxidant in an aqueous alkaline medium at 70 o C. The yield of the polymer was found to be 68 %. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were characterized by TGA-DTA and solubility tests. 1 H and 13 C NMR data shows that the polymerization proceeded by the CC coupling of ortho and para positions according to-OH groups of 4-[(pyridin-2-ylimino)methyl]benzene-1,3-diol (4-PIMBD). According to size exclusion chromatography (SEC) measurements, the number-average molecular weight (Mn), weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index (PDI) values of P-4-PIMBD were found as 9400, 12800 g mol-1 and 1.362, respectively. The polymer-metal complex compounds were synthesized with acetates salts of Cd, Co, Cu, Zn and Ni. Thermal analyses of these metal-complex compounds investigated in N2 atmosphere between 15-1000 °C. Also, FT-IR spectra and electrical conductivities of polymer-metal complexes were measured by four-point technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
