Abstract:
Polymer supports and polymeric complexes are highly versatile and
they are successfully employed as efficient reagents, substrates and
catalysts. Recently there observed a growing interest in the synthesis of
tailor-made polymer supports and functionalized polymers for the
preparation of metal complexes for various applications. They have the
combination of properties due to the macromolecular structure as well as
due to the reactivity of the functional group. An interesting feature of
functional polymers is their affinity towards metal ions. Therefore the
synthesis, characterization and application of such polymeric complexes
have great scientific and analytical importance.
In this investigation three series of polymeric complexes of transition
metal ions are prepared from three schiff bases. All the complexes and
polymeric schiff bases were characterized by analytical, spectral and
thermal methods The thesis consist of six chapters. The first chapter contains an
introduction and a brief review on application of polymer supports, polymer
supported ligands and complexes. The second chapter gives the details of
reagents and instruments used and the procedure adopted for the
preparation of ligands and complexes. The third chapter explains the
methods employed for characterization and the results are also discussed.
The fourth chapter gives a detailed study of metal ion removal using
ligands whereas the fifth chapter describes the development of the Cu” ion
sensor electrode. The sixth chapter is the summary of the thesis and
references are presented at the end.
