Abstract
New organometallic containing materials were synthesized by the reaction of Group IVB metallocene dichlorides of the form Cp2MCl2 where M = Ti, Ar, and Hf with Hematoporphyrin IX using the interfacial condensation polymerization technique. The structural characterization was accomplished using infrared and mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The results obtained from these techniques showed the presence of the metal ester and ether bonding as evidence that the reaction occurred. The product derived from titanocene dichloride, 12-A, exhibited growth inhibition characteristics towards the Candid albicans and Staphylococcus aureus microorganisms. From the preliminary metal adsorption studies it was shown that this product also bound nickel ions.
