Abstract
Polymeric crown ethers are synthesised from chloromethylated styrene divinylbenzene copolymers, which are converted to polycatechol or polybenzylamine. Cyclisation with alpha , omega -dihaloethylglycols, leads to polymeric benzo-crown series or polymeric diazapseudo crown series. These polymers can bind alkali metal salts, and the complexation process is temperature-dependent. Through complexation of alkali salts, the polymeric crown ethers behave as anion exchangers, and thus fill the function of anion exchangers in the electrodialysis system, without causing water-splitting.
