MO(CO)(6) was reacted with the Schiff base ligand obtained by condensation reaction of 2-acetyl- or benzoylpyridine with poly(propylene glycol)bis(2-aminopropyl ether) to obtain polymeric, dinuclear metal tetracarbonyl compounds. The long-chain Schiff base complexes are highly soluble even in non-polar solvents such as petroleum ether, diethyl ether and n-hexane. These complexes, as free-radical initiators, afforded methyl methacrylate polymerization in chlorinated solvents. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
