SynopsisSeveral polymer-metal complexes were prepared by reacting poly(viny1 carbazole) (PNVC) with copper(I1) chloride, CuC1,.2H,O, in refluxing tetrahydrofurane (THF) for mole ratios of CuC1,.2H2O to monomeric unit (Cu:PNVC ratio) ranging between 0.086 and 4.98. Complexes were characterized by infrared (IR) and elemental analysis. Thermal behavior of complexes was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA). It appears that THF behaves as a specific solvent for complexation of PNVC with copper(I1) chloride.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
