A series of coordination polymers of the general formula {[M(BDC)(azoles)(H 2 O) m ].xH 2 O} n (where M = Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II); BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; azoles = 2-aminobenzothiazole, 2aminothiazole, and 2-amino-4-methyl-thiazole; m = 0 or 1; and x = 1 or 2) were prepared and characterized.The complexes were characterized based on elemental analysis, infrared and electronic spectral studies, magnetic measurements, molar conductance, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and biological activity. Thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry, and differential thermal analysis were used to study the thermal decomposition of the complexes. The kinetic parameters were calculated making use of the Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger equations.
