POLYAZOMETHINE–ZN(II) COMPLEXES WITH TUNABLE THERMAL, ELECTROCHEMICAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND STRUCTURE–PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS
Polyazomethines are π-conjugated Schiff-base polymers whose azomethine nitrogen atoms provide coordination sites for metal ions and thereby offer a convenient route to multifunctional materials. In the present study, four aromatic polyazomethines were synthesized by condensation of p-phthalaldehyde with 4,4′-diaminodip...
