X-Ray Diffraction Studies of Some Chelate Polymers of Adipic Acid

Ruhee Hussain and H. D. Juneja

Chelate polymers of Mn (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II) have been prepared with the ligand derived from adipyl bis-2-aminobenzothiazole having equimolar stochiometry of the cations and the ligands. In the present communication, a detailed study of X-Ray diffraction have been undertaken. The synthesized chelate polymers are coloured, amorphous, solid and highly insoluble in aqueous and common organic solvents. On the basis of X-Ray diffraction data, an orthorhombic crystal system has been proposed for the chelate polymers. The diffraction data were also used to index the compounds and for determination of various parameters.
