Abstract
The reaction of 5-vinylsalicylidene-2-aminomethyl-pyridine (VSAPH) with Cu(II) resulted in a yellow-red Cu(II) polymer complex with very low magnetic moment at room temperature, while reaction with Co(II) produced a diamagnetic octahedral Co(III) polymer complex. NiCl2 gave a paramagnetic octahedral polymer complex, while the rest are diamagnetic with square planar and tetrahedral geometries.
