Abstract: This invention relates to novel compositions of matter which are multifunctional amino zirconium aluminum metallo organic complexes which are comprised of a chemically united complex aluminum moiety, a tetravalent zirconium moiety, and a multifunctional amino acid wherein the acid is chemically bound to both the aluminum and zirconium centers.Such compositions are useful in promoting adhesion of adhesives, sealants, and coatings to metal, rubber, glass, plastic, coatings, and wood thereby enhancing strength properties and prolonging useful service life when such products are exposed to aggressive environments.Futher described is the specific process for the preparing of such compositions in organic media with desirable stability of the metal centers toward polymerization and related hydrolysis.
