Metal chelates, including cobalt Schiff bases and a cobalt porphyrin complex, have been codeposited with hydrocarbon plasma polymers to form thin films. The hydrocarbon monomers used were trans-2-butene and cyclooctene. The sorption of O{sub 2} by such membranes before and after reaction with pyridine (Pyr) or 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm) was measured and the association FTIR and uv/visible absorption spectra were obtained. In addition permeability to O{sub 2} and N{sub 2} was determined. It was found that the structure of the metal chelates, which were sublimed into the plasma, was preserved. When bound to an axial base (Pyr or 1-MeIm), the plasma polymer occluded chelates bound O{sub 2} reversibly. O{sub 2} diffusion coefficients varied with the nature of the plasma polymer matrix. The ideal separation factor (O{sub 2}/N{sub 2}) increased for metal chelate containing plasma polymers vis-a-vis that for the plasma polymer matrix (without metal chelate). The ideal separation factor was at a maximum for low metal chelate loading and at a {open_quotes}mass thickness{close_quotes} of {approximately} 10 {mu}g/(cm{sup 2}min).
