Metal complexes were prepared on the basis of polymer ligands with carboxylic and nitrogen-containing functionalities by complexation with iron ions in aqueous solutions of FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O and FeSO4 center dot 2H(2)O. The degree of introduction of iron ions into the polymer matrices depended on the relative content of the functional groups in the polymers studied such as polyacrylic acid, poly-4-vinylpyridine, and poly(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl) methacrylate. The metal content in the polymer complexes was found to vary between 9.0 and 30.0 (for acrylic acid-based copolymers); 0.1 and 5.3 (for copolymers of 4-vinylpyridine), and 19.7 and 34.4 (for poly(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl) methacrylate) mg metal ions per gram of polymer carrier, respectively. An attempt was made to evaluate the structure of the Fe-containing polymeric materials by Moessbauer spectroscopy. The parameters of the Moessbauer spectra such as the isomer shift, quadrupole splitting, effective internal magnetic field, and relative weight of the partial components were consequently determined for the complexes studied at different temperatures. The results obtained proved the existence of high-spin Fe3+ ions in oxygen-or nitrogen-containing ligand environment.
