Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer-Metal Chelates Derived from Oxalic Acid and Thiosemicarbazide

Polymeric materials have become increasingly significant due to their wide-ranging applications and adaptability tomodern societal needs. These materials exhibit remarkable properties, including thermal stability, chemical resistance,conductivity, and ion-exchange capacity. The development of polymeric ligands and coordination polymers, particularly thosecontaining donor atoms such as N, S, and O, has expanded their utility in various fields, including catalysis, electronics, surfacecoatings, and biomedical applications. Chelate polymers, formed by coordinating metal ions with organic ligands, exhibit bothorganic and inorganic characteristics, offering desirable magnetic, thermal, and electrical properties. Despite challenges such aspoor solubility and plasticity, chelate polymers are utilized in the aerospace, automotive industries, and semiconductor sectorsdue to their thermal resilience and functional diversity. Recent research has focused on designing low-band-gap conductingpolymers and synthesizing various metal complexes with Schiff bases, hydroxamic acids, and thiosemicarbazones, leading toadvances in coordination chemistry and material science. These developments underline the transformative role of polymers inscience, industry, and everyday life.
