The oligophenylazomethinephenol was synthesized by the condensation of aniline with oligosalicylaldehyde. Metal complexes of these oligomers with Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), and Ni(II) were synthesized and characterized. Based on the results of thermogravimetric analysis, synthesized oligomer-metal complexes were more stable against heat and thermooxidative decomposition than some polymeric Schiff bases and polymer-metal complexes. Additionally, the presence of metal ions increased the thermal stability of oligo-ortho-aminophenol, while the thermal stability of oligophenylazomethinephenol was lowered.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessoligomer-metal complexesoligophenolsthermal stabilitypolymerArticle60430631010.2478/s11696-006-0054-42-s2.0-33749187323Q2WOS:000240022800010Q4
