Synthesis and Complexing Ability of Hyperbranched Polyester Polyols Containing Carboxylic Acid Fragments

© 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. New hyperbranched polyester polycarboxylic acids containing terminal propanoic and acrylic acid fragments have been synthesized. According to the IR spectral data, the complexation of polydentate hyperbranched polyester polycarboxylic acids with Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions involves chelation and bidentate bridging coordination by the terminal carboxy groups. All Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with the obtained polyester polypropanoic acids are characterized by octahedral geometry of the coordination entity (MO6). The Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes with polyester polyacrylic acids have tetrahedral configuration of the coordination entity (MO4)
