Preparation and reactivity of metal-containing monomers

Abstract

The stability of chelates of several bivalent metals with poly(methacryloylacetone) was determined by pH titration. Two models in which the fragment of a polymeric molecule in the coordination sphere of a metal was approximated by either a mono- or a bidentate ligand were considered. Differerrt mechanisms of complex formnation were realized depending on the nature of M(II).
