Eight polymer-metal complexes were synthesized from complexation of divalent Mn(II), Ni(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) metal ions with modified polystyrene-alt-(maleic anhydride) (PSMAP and PSMAM) ligands. The structures of these new complexes were characterized using a variety of techniques, including magnetic moment susceptibility, conductance measurements, FT-IR spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All metal-polymer complexes have a non-electrolytic nature based on conductance measurements. The polymer molecule behaves as neutral bidentate NO ligand through O atoms of carbonyl (C=O) and N atoms of amide (O=C-NH). Divalent Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+ and Cu2+ complexes have an octahedral geometry based on their electronic spectra and magnetic values. Based on thermal analysis data, those new complexes are more thermally stable than the ligands. SEM and TEM are manipulated to give the surface structure and the particle size measurements where they give different shapes and sizes of the synthesized complexes.
