[Study on absorption spectra and optical limiting properties of soluble polymer/multi-walled carbon nanotube composites].

Three kinds of soluble polymer grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), including poly(N-vinylcarbazole)-MWNTs (MWNTs-PVK), polystyrene-MWNTs (MWNTs-PSt) and poly(methyl methacrylate)-MWNTs (MWNTs-PMMA) were synthesized. The TEM images of these samples show that polymers are coated outside the carbon nanotubes. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of the samples in CHCl3 were taken on a HP8452 spectrophotometer at room temperature.

Catena-poly[[bis(1H-benzotriazole-kappaN3)cobalt(II)]-di-mu-tricyanomethanido-kappa2N:N'] and catena-poly[[bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-kappaN2)manganese(II)]-di-mu-tricyanomethanido-kappa2N:N'].

Two new one-dimensional coordination polymers, viz. the title compounds, [Co[C(CN)(3)](2)(C(6)H(5)N(3))(2)](n), (I), and [Mn[C(CN)(3)](2)(C(5)H(8)N(2))(2)](n), (II), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Both complexes consist of linear chains with double 1,5-tricyanomethanide bridges between neighbouring divalent metal ions.
