Polyamide derived from azo compound of o-amino phenol coupled with acetyl acetone, maleic anhydride acid and
p-phenylene diamine were prepared. The prepared polyamide (PA) was refluxed with metal salts of transition metal ions include, Co+2,
Cr+2, Ni+2, Cu+2, Zn+2, Cd+2 and Fe+3 in dimethyl formamide (DMF) in different molar ratios. These complexes were characterized and
identified by elemental and thermal analysis, IR, 1H NMR spectra. The data showed that PA ligand coordinates with metal ions in
abidentate manner through donating N=N and O-H groups. The metal ions are surrounded by coordinated water molecules and anions
to establish the geometrical structure of the complexes. The thermal analysis degradation at different temperatures explained the weight
loss of hydrated water and the decompositions of complexes until a constant weight loss of metal oxides is obtained.
