SUMMARY
Polychelates of poly(maleic acid-co-olefin) with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) metal ions are synthesized. These compounds are characterized by FT IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. The electrical conductivity measurements are carried out. These demonstrate that at temperature close to 130°C the electrical conductivity increased to values near to the semiconductor range. The PM3 calculations are also carried to study the geometry of the polychelates.
