A new conducting polymer based on the complex of Cu(II) with N,N′-Bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-propylenediamine

Abstract

Conducting polymeric form of the complex of Cu(II) with N,N ′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-propylenediamine was obtained by the electrochemical method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electronic absorption spectroscopy were used to characterize the starting substances and their polymeric forms. The invariance of the charge state of copper in the oxidation-reduction of the polymer based on the complex of Cu(II) with a Schiff base was substantiated.
