New coordination polymers of glyoxal bis(2-hydroxyanil)

Abstract

Coordination polymers of [2,2'-(ethandiylidenedinitrilo) diphenol) have been prepared with the metal ions Cu(II), Ni(1I) and Cr(III). They were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectra. The metal content in all polymers was found to be consistent with a 1:1 (metal:ligand) stoichiometry. The thermal behaviour of these coordination polymers has been studied by thermogravimetric and DSC analyses in air up to 500 C. The crystallinity of the formed polymers was determined by x-ray analysis. The morphological structures of these polymers were determined by scanning electron microscopy.
