Abstract

-Type zirconium phosphate,-Zr(HPO4)2-.1.77H2O (-ZrP), crystalline cerium phosphate, Ce(HPO4)2.1.33 H2O (CePc), and [-Zr(HPO4)2]0.30 [Ce (HPO4)2]0.70 .2H2O composite were prepared and characterized by chemical, XRD, TGA, FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). [-Zr(HPO4)2]0.30[Ce(HPO4)2]0.70/polyaniline, polyindole, polycarbazole, polyaniline-co-polyindole, polyaniline-co-polycarbazole composites were prepared via in-situ chemical oxidation of the monomers aniline, indole , carbazole, and (1:1moler ratio) of co-monomers aniline-indole, aniline- carbazole, respectively, that was promoted by the reduction of part of Ce(IV) ions present in the inorganic matrix. A possible explanation is part of CePc is attacked by the monomers, and the co-monomers, respectively, converted to cerium (III) orthophosphate (CePO4). The resultant novel composites were characterized by elemental (C,H,N) analysis, FT-IR, and (SEM). From elemental (C,H,N) analysis ,the amount of organic materials present in [-Zr(HPO4)2]0.30 [Ce (HPO4)2]0.70/ polyaniline, polyindole, polycarbazole composites were (23.44, 5.24 and 33.02 % in wt. ), respectively. The amount of resultant copolymers were (Pani 5.92, PIn 7.48 % in wt) and (Pani 1.42, PCz 2.48 % in wt ) These composites can be considered as novel conducting inorganic-organic composites, ion exchangers , solid acid catalysts and sensors.
