Abstract

Metal-containing poly(disalicylidenediamines) exhibiting semiconductor properties were prepared by polycondensation of salicylidene derivatives of aromatic diamines with metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) acetates. The data obtained confirm that the transfer of charge carriers in these polymers occurs along the chain through “nonclassical” polyconjugation zones formed via multiple intramolecular donor-acceptor interactions of lone electron pairs of the azomethine groups with the unoccupied d orbitals of the metal ions.
