In this study, three novel poly(styrene) attached Schiff bases (AMP-SB) were synthesized from condensation reaction of (aminomethyl)polystyrene with 2-hydroxy-5-bromobenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzaldehyde for uptake from solutions containing Mn(II) and Ni(II) ions and as antimicrobial agent against Micrococcus luteus. Furthermore coordination polymers were synthesized including Mn(II) and Ni(II) ions for understand to geometric structure of uptake ions. Polymers attached Schiff bases and coordination polymers were characterized by means of elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, FTIR, UV-GB, TG/DTA and H-1-NMR. The Ni(II) and Mn(II) contents in the metal-containing polymer complexes were determined by the ICP-MS technique. Antibacterial activities of the polymers attached Schiff bases and their complexes were studied by the well-diffusion method against M. luteus (ATCC-9341).
