title: Synthesis and analytical properties of a chelating resin functionalised with bis-(N,N'-salicylidene)1,3-propanediamine ligands.
abstract: A polystyrenedivinylbenzene-based macroreticular resin was functionalised with bis-(N,N'-salicylidene)1,3-propanediamine ligands and its analytical properties have been investigated. The pH dependence of metal resin chelation has been determined for Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Fe(II), Mn(II), Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III). Trace amounts of these metal ions were quantitatively retained on the resin at neutral pH and easily recovered by elution with 1 N hydrochloric acid. The resin exhibits good chemical stability and fast equilibration with the metal ion making it useful for rapid concentration of trace amounts of metal ions on the resin columns.
