Abstract

The synthesis and the electrochem. properties of 2 polymer-transition metal hybrids are reported. The oxidn. potential of the Co-contg. N,N-ethylenebis(salicylidenimine) polymer films was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, and the influence of the film thickness on the redox potential was analyzed. The test results for both polymers are shown and discussed in detail. It was concluded from the exptl. data, that the Co-polymer hybrids display a high cond. and sensitivity to coordinating ligands. Moreover, possible application fields for the hybrid materials are outlined. [on SciFinder(R)]
