Summary
The title monomer has been prepared for the first time. It has been polymerized by a free radical mechanism in different solvents. Only oligomers were obtained so far. The dependence of the rate of polymerization on monomer and initiator concentrations has been measured and was found to follow the usual free radical scheme. The overall activation energy of polymerization has been measured in two solvents and was found to be 21.2 and 15.03 K.Cal/mol in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) respectively. The prepared monomer has excellent chelating ability with different metal cations. The stability constant of the monomer with copper (II) ions has been measured in acetone as well as in dioxane. The complexes have no tendency for free radical polymerization.
