Synthesis and Characterization of Some Coordination Polymalimides

Twelve polymeric complexes were prepared from the polymerization of phenylazo-3-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) maleimide and Phenylazo-3-N-(3-hydroxyphenyl) maleimide, with salts of Cr3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+ these complexes were characterized by U.V., I.R. spectroscopy, elemental analysis, molar conductivity and magnetic moment, to ensure their geometry, according to these measurements all the complexes have tetrahedral geometry accept [CrL2Cl3.H2O ] and [NiL1Cl2.2H2O] which have octahedral one. The biological activity of these complexes showed a moderate inhibition towards some growth bacteria.
