Orange-colored Schiff bases, 4-[(5-methyl- 2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (4MFMAP) and 2-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (2MFMAP) turned to poly-4-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (P-4MFMAP) and poly-2-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol (P-2MFMAP) polyazomethine derivatives by NaOCl oxidant in alkaline aqueous medium. In addition, poly-2-[(5-methyl-2-furyl) methyleneamino] phenol cobalt (II) and copper (II) complexes were synthesized. FTIR and NMR measurements for structural analysis of the synthesized compounds, UV-Vis analysis for optical properties, electrical conductivity measurements, and thermal analysis with the TG-DTA techniques were determined. The yield of P-4MFMAP and P-2MFMAP was found to be 84.6% and 78.6 as follows [4MFMAP] = 0.066, [KOH] = 0.198 [NaOCl] = 0.066 mol L-1 at 60 A degrees C for 3 h and [2MFMAP] = 0.066, [KOH] = 0.132 [NaOCl] = 0.066 mol L-1 at 70 A degrees C for 3 h, respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSchiff base polymersPolyphenolsOxidative polycondensationOptimum reaction conditionsThermal analysisArticle151354610.1007/s13738-017-1205-yQ3WOS:0004191725000052-s2.0-85040005747Q2
