Abstract
Foams prepared from vinylbenzyl chloride and crosslinked with divinylb enzene were functionalized with trialkylphosphite and tetralkylvinylid ene diphosphonate. It was determined that the foams could be uniformly functionalized. Batch studies with the functionalized foams show that high levels of metal ion complexation can be achieved. Foams may ther efore offer an important alternative to beads for rapid complexation r eactions due to their highly porous structure. (C) 1998 John Wiley & S ons, Inc.
