The first soluble linear Schiff-base heavy-metal coordination polymer has been synthesized via the condensation of 1,2,4,5-tetraaminobenzene and tetrakis(salicylaldehydato)zirconium(IV) in dry dimethyl sulfoxide. The (N, N',N”,N”’-tetrasalicylidene-1,2,4,5-tetraaminobenzenato)zirconium(IV) polymer has a number-average molecular weight of up to 4.9 X 10^4 based on inherent viscosity, gel permeation chromatography, and elemental analysis. Spectral properties of this polymer indicate a structure analogous to the model compound bis(N,N’-disalicylidene-l,2-phenylenediamino)zirconium(IV). Thermal characterization of the polymer is also discussed.
