Novel Multicolor Schiff Base Polymers Prepared via Oxidative Polycondensation.

A series of diimine Schiff bases and their polymers were synthesized via the oxidative polycondensation reaction. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, FT-IR and UV-vis spectral measurements. Electrochemical and optical band gap values of synthesized compounds were determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and UV-vis measurements, respectively.
