A polymeric metal complex capable of reversibly adsorbing oxygen to itself and desorbing oxygen therefrom, whose central metal is a low valency transition metal selected from the group consisting of metals belonging to Groups VIA, VIIA, VIII, IB and IIB of the fourth to the sixth periods of the periodic table; whose panar ligand is a chelate ligand selected from the group consisting of bi-, ter- and quadri-dentate monomeric ligands; and whose axial ligand is a polymeric ligand containing a functional group having a coordinating capacity. The subject polymeric metal complex is manufactured by the method which is characterized in that (A) a monomeric metal complex whose central metal is a low or high valency transition metal selected from the group consisting of metals belonging to Groups VIA, VIIA, VIII, IB and IIB of the fourth to the sixth periods of the periodic table and whose ligand is a chelate ligand of any of the bi-, ter- and quadri-dentate ligands is reacted with a polymeric ligand to replace the axial ligand of said monomeric metal complex by said polymeric ligand, or (B) the central metal of said monomeric metal complex is combined with the residual group of a polymeric compound to provide a alpha bond between carbon and metal, and that where the central metal of said monomeric metal complex is a high valency transition metal, then said central metal is reduced to a low valency state by a chemical reaction using a reducing agent or another form of reaction using an electrode before, after or simultaneously with the aforesaid reaction (A) or (B).
