Abstract

Abstract New polymerizable ligands for complexing metal ions have been synthesized. The polymerizable ligands were made by Heck cross-coupling of aromatic bromides with high pressure ethylene gas under mild conditions at room temperature. The vinyl substituted ligands were prepared in good yields and characterized by GC-MS, FT-NMR, FT-IR and microanalysis.
