Polymerization and copolymerization of metal-containing monomers as the method of synthesizing structurally organized catalysts

The method of the synthesis of polymeric metal-complex catalysts by the polymerization and copolymerization of metal-containing monomers is discussed. The polymerization of the metal-containing monomers based on acrylates, maleates, fumarates, itaconates, and acetylnecarboxylates of transition metals are studied. The relative reactivity constants of monomers and the distribution of the metal-containing monomer links in the copolymer chain are determined. The catalytic properties of the metal-polymer complexes obtained in the course of hydrogen peroxide decomposition are studied.
