Synthesis and Character. Metal Carboxylate Coordination Polymers: Synthesis and Characterization of a Series of Some Metal Carboxylate Coordination Polymers: Thermal and Electrochemical Mahmoud A. Ghandour

1,4-Benzenedicarboxylate(BDC), 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylate(FDC) and their metal complexes are of considerable interest due to their chemical and biological importance. Thiazoles represent a very interesting class of compounds because of their pharmaceutical, analytical and industrial applications. The aim of this work is therefore to synthesize and characterize a series of transition and non-transition metal coordination polymers derived from 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate and / or 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylate and thiazoles, to explore their structures and biological activities. A study of the thermal behaviour of these complexes is important to elucidate the kinetic and mechanistic aspects of their thermolysis as well as their stabilities. It is also aimed to study the voltammetric behaviour of these complexes to gain more understanding about the chemistry of these compounds.
