Professor, Education Faculty, Department of Science Education, Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey

Biography: Dr. Murat Tas was worked as Resarch Asistant at Ondokuz Mayis University (OMU), Turkey between 1995 -2005 and he obtained his PhD in Natural Science Institute from OMU in 2004. Between 2005-2014, he was also worked at Arts-Science Faculties in Karadeniz Technical University and Giresun University, respectively.

In 2014, Dr. Tas joined the OMU worked as a Department Head. Before joining the Ondokuz Mayıs University, Dr. Tas had worked as a visiting researcher fellow at the University of James cook, Townsville, Australia.

The main research areas of Dr. Tas who is still the Dean of the Education Faculty, Giresun University, Turkey, are synthesis and characterization of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur containing organic molecules and their metal complexes, coordination compounds of some biological active compounds, heterocyclic ligands, thermal behaviors of the materials, inorganic polymeric compounds, porous crystalline materials and MOF’s, the design the controllable porous in the inorganic polymers.

Speech Title: The potential of PBA's for Inorganic Polymers
Abstract: Polymer is the common names of a large molecule or macromolecule family from familiar synthetic plastics to natural polymers, composed of many repeating units called as monomers, create the polymers via polymerization reactions. In Today and future, it is not hard to imagine that the polymers will play an essential and ubiquitous role due to their properties. In order to be able to classify a substance as a polymer, it must be survived in both solution and solid phase and there are two polymer classes as organic and inorganic.

In fact the inorganic polymers are coordination compound the coordination entities forming the metal cation centers linked by organic ligands repeating to extend in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions can be named as coordination polymer.

This interdisciplinary nature of the inorganic polymers has led to extensive work such as organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, electrochemistry, and pharmacology, in the past few decades.

Generally carboxylic acids especially dicarboxylic acids (i.e., oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, terephthalic acid, 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), tricarboxylic acid (i.e., citric acid, trimesic acid) or azoles (i.e., 1,2,3-triazole, pyrrodiazole) or ligands having more than one donor atom (especialy nitrogen), can use to prepare the coordination polymer including MOF's too.

PBA's (p-aminobenzoic acid derivatives) can be used to prepare coordination polymer because of its NH2, and COOH substituents versatile coordination sites is shown in Figure 1.
