Preparation of Palladium(II) and Copper(II) Selective Chelating Resin Bearing 2-Acetylphenol Ligand

A new chelating resin bearing 2-acetylphenol ligand was synthesized by the copolymerization of 2-acetyl-5-(p-vinylbenzyloxy)phenol, acrylamide, and methylenediacrylamide. The resin adsorbed rapidly Pd(II) [pH 1–2.5] and Cu(II) [pH 3.5–6] with a high selectivity, and the adsorption ability was promoted by the application of template synthesis method.
