SYNOPSISThe effect of the polymeric matrix structure on the acidic-base, coordination, and kinetic properties of reticular poly (vinylpyridines) (RPVPs) obtained by copolymerization of 4vinylpyridine (AH-40) and 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine (AH-25) with divinyl aromatic compounds has been investigated by potentiometric as well as by IR and EPR spectroscopic met hods.The increase in the content of the crosslinking agent results in a lower pK, of RPVP and in reduced stability constants of their complexes with transient metal ions; therefore, the defectiveness of the coordination centers is increased.The nature of the crosslinking agent determines the flexibility of the polymeric matrix and the availability of electron-donor groups in them affects the structure of the average statistical coordination center, thus bringing about a change in the RPVP electron-donor properties and in the stability constant of the polymeric complex.

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.
