Six new polychelates of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cr(III), UO2(II) and Zn(II) were prepared from the chelex poly(N-methacryloyl-m-amino benzoic acid). All these polychelates are coloured, amorphous powders, insoluble in all common organic solvents. They are characterized by electronic reflectance spectra, IR spectra elemental analyses and magnetic susceptibility measurements. All the polychelates show a six co-ordinated structure and suggest octahedral geometry. Conductometric studies indicated that these polychelates are non-electrolytes. Their thermal stabilities were established by thermogravimetric studies.
