Abstract:

New category of polythiophene (keto-amine)s (PTKA) 3a-e containing thiophene-arylidene-thiophene tri blocks moieties in polymers backbones was synthesized by the interaction of the monomer 2 with different aromatic, cyclic and aliphatic diamines. The polymerization had occurred using polycondensation process in dry benzene as solvent. A new monomer namely, 2,5-bis[4-choloroacetyl(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)]cyclopentanone 2 was firstly synthesized using the normal condition of Friedel-Crafts reaction by the reaction of 2,5-bis(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)cyclopentanone 1 with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride anhydrous. The structure of the new monomer as well as polymers was confirmed by elemental and spectral analyses. Furthermore, solubility, viscometry, SEM and thermal characteristics for the new polymers were tested. All the polymers were freely soluble in formic acid as good example for polar protic solvents. PDTmax and FDT for all the polymers were detected and were in the range 434 – 467 ºC and 487 – 533 ºC respectively. On the other hand, the analytical competition of newly synthesized PTKA polymers 3a and 3c was also evaluated for a selective extraction of metal ions prior to their determination  by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. The selectivity of PTKA 3a  and PTKA  3c towards different metal ions, including Cd (II), Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III), Fe(III), Ni(II) and  Zn(II), was studied. Results of the selectivity study demonstrated that 3a  and 3c polymers was the most selective towards  Cr  (III)  and  Co(II).  Adsorption  capacity  of  3a     for  Cr(III)  was  improved  by  38.37%  in comparison to that of 3 for Co(II) after only 1 h contact time. Moreover,  adsorption  isotherm data provided that the adsorption process was mainly monolayer on homogeneous adsorbent surfaces of both PTKA 3a and PTKA 3c.
