Studies of the photochemistry of copper(II) ion complexes with polymeric carboxylic acids serve the purpose of investigating the photochemistry of the polymeric complexes and the reactivity of the acetyl-copper intermediate subject to interactions with a polyelectrolyte. Flash photolysis of the Cu(II)-poly(acrylic acid) complexes produced transient spectra with maxima at 400 and 540 nm. An equation is presented that describes the primary process of the photoreactivity of the Cu(II)-poly(acrylic acid)-complexes and complexes with other carboxylic acids as photooxidation of the carboxylic group. 17 references, 4 figures.
