Abstract

A Cu2+-ion selective resin (resin A) was synthesized by a novel template polymerization technique, using oleic acid as a host monomer, divinylbenzene as a matrix-forming monomer and Cu2+ ion as a target molecule. The metal (Cu2+ and Ca2+) ion complexation equilibria of resin A together with a reference resin (resin B) studied potentiometrically indicate: 1) rapid and reversible complexation reactions, and 2) a highly selective binding of resin A to Cu2+ ions. These properties show that Cu2+-ion selective cavities were formed at the surface of resin A.
