Polyamide [1,3-Dicarboxymethoxybenzene and Ethylene Diamine] Complexation with Some Metal Ions

Polyamide [1,3-dicarboxymethoxybenzene and ethylene diamine]complexes with Cd^2+, Fe^3+ and UO2^2+ were prepared by meltcondensation of bis-1,3-[DCMB] and [ED] and characterized by elementaland thermal analysis as well as different spectroscopic techniques.The data gathered showed that polyamide, ligand coordinates with metal ions in a bidentate manner through N,N donation. The metalions are surrounded by coordinated water molecules and anions soas to establish the octahedral geometry.
