The article discusses the formation of complexes between transition metal ions and a copolymer of crotonaldehyde with N-vinylpyrrolidone. Complexation of copolymers with metal ions in solutions has been studied by methods of IR-UV spectroscopy, sedimentation, diffusion and viscosimetry. Coordination of the metal with the copolymer occurs through the oxygen atom of the cycloamide and aldehyde groups.
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.
