“…As a result of the presence of two spatially separated electrondonor functional groups in the MABA molecule, the reported metal complexes of this ligand are mostly coordination polymers. Polymerization may take place involving both COOH and NH 2 functional groups (Wang et al, 2004;Flemig et al, 2008;Tan et al, 2006;Wei et al, 2006;Shen & Lush, 2010;Wang et al, 2006;), or only one of them: COOH (Kozioł et al, 1992;Murugavel & Banerjee, 2003;Flemig et al, 2008;Tsaryuk et al, 2014) or, more infrequently, NH 2 (Wang et al, 2004).…”
