SUMMARY
Polymer metal complexes of poly(maleic acid) and Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) were synthesized. Elemental analysis, as well as magnetic, spectral and thermal properties, in addition to electrical conductivities of the chelates were investigated, and possible structures have been assigned to the polychelates. Semi-empirical calculations at the PM3 level were carried out on the geometrical arrangement of the polychelates.
