Notes:
Some new cellulosic materials, suitable for the adsorption of noble metal ions, were syn-thesized by chemical and electrochemical modification of cellulose. The polymerizable groups were introduced in cellulose with ∼ 80% yield of substitution by esterification with acryloyl chloride. The vinyl monomers (4-vinylpyridine, 1-vinylimidazole, 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone, and 9-vinylcarbazole) were readily grafted into cellulose acrylate via radical polymerization in acetonitrile. The grafted copolymers of cellulose with 4-vinylpyridine and 4-vinylimidazole were reacted with methyl iodide and the corresponding 1-methylpyridinium iodide (6) and 3-methylimidazolium iodide (7) copolymers of cellulose were obtained. Copolymers 6 and 7 were transformed into new polymeric regents, differing in anions (ClO-4, CF3COO-, NO-3, p-TsO-, BF-4, PF-6) by using a supporting electrolyte carrying the desired anions through the ion-exchange-electrochemical oxidation of the released iodide at a controlled anodic potential. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
