Abstract

Ruhee Hussain¹ and H. D. Juneja²

Chelate polymers of first row transition metal ions viz Mn (II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been prepared with the ligand derived from fumaryl bis-2-aminobenzothiazole having equimolar stochiometry of the catoins and the ligands. The newly synthesized chelate polymers were characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic, infrared and reflectance spectra. The synthesized chelate polymers are coloured, amorphous, solid and highly insoluble in aqueous and common organic solvents. The structure of the chelate polymers has been assigned on the basis of spectral and magnetic studies.
