Insoluble styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads were obtained by the standard suspension polymerization techniques. These beads were chloromethylated with chloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride. Alters-atvely, chloromethylated polystyrene beads were prepared by the homopolymerization reaction of chloromethylstyrene monomer, or by the copolymerization reaction of chloromethylstyrene with styrene and divinylbenzene. Thus obtained chloromethylated polystyrenes were reacted with ethylenediamine in DMF/water solution to obtain diamine ligand type chelate resins. In the reaction of chloromethyl group with ethylenediamine, site-site interactions were investigated. Cu²⁺ chelation capacity was determined by the bitch equilibration method at pH 5. In addition, aminomethylhydroxyquinoline type chelate resin was prepared by the N-alkylation of diamine ligand type chelate resin with 5-chloromethyl-3-hydroxyquinoline hydrochloride.

표준적인 분산중합법으로 구형의 Styrene-Divinylbenzene 가교 공중합 bead를 얻었다. 이러한 불용성의 polystyrene bead들을 ZnCl₂의 존재하에서 chloromethyl methylether와 고분자 반응시켜 chloromethylated polystyrene bead를 얻었다. 또한 chloromethylstyrene 단량체의 단독중합 혹은 chloromethylstyrene과 styrene, divinylbenzene의 공중합에 의해서도 불용성의 chloromethylated polystyrene bead를 직접 얻을 수 있었다. 이렇게 얻은 다양한 종류의 chloromethylated polystyrene bead와 ethylenediamine을 DMF/water 상에서 반응시켜 diamine배위자 형의 킬레이트 수지를 얻고 그의 Cu²⁺에 대한 흡착능을 batch equilibration 법에 의해 pH 5에서 측정하였다. 또한 chloromethyl기와 diamine의 반응에 있어서의 site-Site interaction을 chloromethylated polystyrene의 chloromethyl기 치환도 및 중합체의 가교도와 관련지어 검토하였다. Aminomethylhydroxyquinoline 배위자 형의 chelate수지는 diamine 배위자 형의 chelate 수지를 5-chloromethyl-8-hydroxy quinoline hydrochloride로 N-alkylation시켜 얻었다.
