Conclusion

Abstract

As appears from the analysis of the subject considered in the book, monomer and polymer metal carboxylates belong to an entirely new interdisciplinary science at the junction where the organic, physical, coordination, and high molecular branches of chemistry intersect. It has become possible to speak about all the features typical of an independent branch of chemistry: an intrinsic scientific matter, methodology and abundant experimental materials. The progress in this field is very promising. Firstly, a large variety of synthetic approaches have been developed and optimized allowing the obtaining of certain unsaturated metal carboxylates practically with a quantitative yield. In high molecular compound chemistry problems of synthesis and purity of monomers are very important. From this point of view, one can assert the development of a new class of organometallic monomers. For their synthesis the approacheswhich prevent polymerization at this stage should be used (namely, inert atmosphere, nonaqueous or dysphasicmedium, hydrothermal synthesis, specific additives, low temperatures, and so on).
