Polymer-Supported Reagents with Enhanced Ionic Recognition

Abstract
Polymer-supported reagents with ligands designed for ion-specific interactions are reviewed. Applications in separations science are especially relevant though such polymers can be applied as catalysts and to the preparation of chemical sensors. Ligands covlently bound to polymers which display unique metal ion selectivities include macrocycles, glycols, imines, quinolines, and heterocycles.
