Study of cobalt(II)‐chitosan coordination polymer and its catalytic activity and selectivity for vinyl monomer polymerization

Abstract

A cobalt(II)‐chitosan coordination polymer has been prepared by soaking a chitosan film in CoCl2 aqueous solution. The results have been investigated by means of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transform infrared FT‐IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and electrical conductivity measurements. The XPS and FT‐IR spectra reveal that the chitosan coordinated with cobalt(II) through both oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the chitosan chain. The XPS results show that the coordination polymer possess the same shake‐up peaks with CoCl2, indicating that the cobalt(II)‐chitosan coordination polymer is high spin and the coordination number of cobalt(II) centers is four, and the electrical conductivity measurements confirm this result. Also, cobalt(II) coordination polymer can be used as a catalyst, and the polymerization of vinyl acetate was carried out in the presence of the coordination polymer/Na2SO3/H2O at pH 7 and normal temperature. The polyvinyl acetate possessed a random structure. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Cobalt-chitosan: Magnetic and biodegradable heterogeneous catalyst for selective aerobic oxidation of alkyl arenes and alcohols

“…According to the literature, N 1s and O 1s binding energies of chitosan were appeared in 399.4 and 532.2 eV, respectively. 53 Binding energies of N 1s and O 1s were found to be higher than same peaks in chitosan. 53 These upward shifts indicated decreasing electron density around O and N due to electron draining to cobalt.…”

Transition Metal Chelated Biopolymer Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as Highly Efficient, Stable, and Recyclable Nanocatalysts for Catalytic Bleaching

“…Zeta potential measurements were performed to determine the surface charge of PEM‐MSNPs on metal coordination. Whereas the zeta potential values of Mn 2+ @PEM‐MSNPs (+6.14 mV) and Fe 2+ @PEM‐MSNPs (+13.3 mV) were slightly positive, the zeta potential of Co 2+ @PEM‐MSNPs was −21 mV (Figure S2), indicating that the Mn 2+ and Fe 2+ ions are probably coordinated to the carboxylic acid units of hyaluronic acid and Co 2+ ions are mostly coordinated through both oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the chitosan structure …”

[12] To determine the metal content of nanocatalysts, ICP-MS measurements were performed and the results are summarized in Table S1. It is important to note that the results are reported the average of three replicate measurements.…”
