Cinnamate-based polyesters were synthesized, including poly(4-hydroxycinnamic acid), poly(4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic poly(3-hydroxycinnamic acid) (P3HCA), and hyperbranched poly(3,4-dihydroxycinnamic (PdHCA). These materials further processed into hard dry membranes by casting underwent photoreactions ultraviolet (UV) light. The photodeformation behavior of the linear polyester containing with...

In the title complex, [Cu(C(8)H(3)NO(6))(H(2)O)(2)](n), the two carboxyl-ate groups of the 4-nitro-phthalate dianion ligands have monodentate and 1,3-bridging bonding modes, respectively. The Cu atom shows an approximate square-pyramidal coordination as it is bonded to O atoms from the carboxyl-ate groups of three 4-nitro-phthalate ligands and two O atoms of the non-equivalent coordinated water...
