Abstract
Several polymer‐metal complexes were prepared by reacting poly(vinyl carbazole) (PNVC) with copper(II) chloride, CuCl2.2H2O, in refluxing tetrahydrofurane (THF) for mole ratios of CuCl2.2H2O to monomeric unit (Cu:PNVC ratio) ranging between 0.086 and 4.98. Complexes were characterized by infrared (IR) and elemental analysis. Thermal behavior of complexes was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA). It appears that THF behaves as a specific solvent for complexation of PNVC with copper(II) chloride.
