Abstract The first step in obtaining of a specific polymer sorbent containing sulfur atoms was the synthesis of a functional monomer – 2,2′-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate (TEDM). Synthesis consists of the reaction of 2,2′-thiobisethanol with methacryloyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine in methylene chloride. The new poly(dimethacrylate)s materials containing sulfur atoms were synthesized in radical suspension polymerization. Homopolymerization of 2,2′-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate and its copolymerization with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or pentaerythritol tetraacrylate were carried out. The selection of synthesis conditions determines the parameters of the polymer structure and its properties. The presence of sulfur atoms in polymer chains resulted in specific donor-acceptor interactions, which can intensify sorption ability towards metal ions belonging to the group of soft acids. Therefore, the sorption properties of the obtained materials have been determined based on the recovery of precious metal ions, such as gold(III) and silver(I).

Poly(amidoamine)s (PAMAM) are very effective in the removal of heavy metal ions from water due to their abundant amine and amide functional groups, which have a high binding ability to heavy metal ions. We synthesized a new class of hyperbranched poly(amidehydrazide) (PAMH) hydrogel particles from dihydrazides and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) monomer by using the A2 + B4 polycondensation reaction in an inverse suspension polymerization process. In Cd2+ and Cu2+ ion sorption tests, the synthesized dihydrazide-based PAMH hydrogel particles exhibited sorption capacities of 85 mg/g for copper and 47 mg/g for cadmium. Interestingly, the PAMH showed only a 10% decrease in sorption ability in an acidic condition (pH = 4) compared to the diamine-based hyperbranched PAMAM, which showed a ~90% decrease in sorption ability at pH of 4. In addition, PAMH hydrogel particles remove trace amounts of copper (0.67 ppm) and cadmium (0.5 ppm) in water, below the detection limit.

<p>The possibility of removing Cu<sup>2+</sup> and Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions from solutions by the yeast cells <em>Rhodotorula glutinis</em> and diatomite (natural mineral) was studied. It is shown that at the concentration of CuSO<sub>4</sub> and Pb(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> 10<sup>-3</sup> mol/l the removal of metal ions by yeast cells was 59.1 and 72.4% for the ions of Cu<sup>2+</sup> and Pb<sup>2+</sup>. The yeast cells surface includes amino, hydroxyl, phosphate and carboxyl groups which activates sorption ability, because these groups can bind metal ions by ion exchange, donor acceptor and electrostatic interactions. The removal degree of metal ions by diatomite under the same conditions was for Cu<sup>2+</sup> 91.6% and for Pb<sup>2+</sup> 94.7%. To increase the removal degree of metal ions from solutions, the yeast cells were immobilized on the surface of diatomite. In order to attach the negatively charged cells of microorganisms with negatively charged surface of the mineral, the surface of diatomite was modified by polyethylenimine (PEI). As a result, the immobilization degree of <em>Rhodotorula glutinis</em> to the surface of diatomite at the concentration of PEI 0.02 base-mol/l increased from 62 to 88%, which is explained by the existence of electrostatic contacts between the negatively charged functional groups of the cell surface and amino groups of PEI, that has covered the surface of diatomite by PEI. It is shown that the obtained composite biosorbent removes 97.8% of Cu<sup>2+</sup> ions and 99.4% of Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions.</p>

Poly(hexamethylene 2,5-furanate) (PHF) was obtained by melt polycondensation. The process was carried out at temperatures of 230, 235 and 240 ° C. It has been shown that the selection of the optimal parameters of the synthesis process leads to the obtaining of  biomaterials of high molecular weight, and thus better mechanical and thermal properties. The relationship between the molecular weight and the mobility of polymer chains, and consequently the temperature of phase changes and mechanical properties, was determined.

The isotypic title one-dimensional coordination polymers, [CdCl2(C18H14N4O4)]n, (I), and [HgCl2(C18H14N4O4)]n, (II), are, respectively, the cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of the dimethyl ester of 5,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid. In both compounds, the metal ions are located on a twofold rotation axis and a second such axis bisects the Car—Carbonds of the pyrazine ring. The metal ions are bridged by binding to the N atoms of the two pyridine rings and have anMN2Cl2bisphenoidal coordination geometry. The metal–Npyrazinedistances are much longer than the metal–Npyridinedistances; the difference is 0.389 (2) Å for the Cd—N bonds but only 0.286 (5) Å for the Hg—N bond lengths. In the crystals of both compounds, the polymer chains are linkedviapairs of C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming corrugated slabs parallel to theacplane.

Abstract Photoresponsive molecules with more than two intrinsic stationary states are very Interesting. Here, we demonstrate a series of crown ether (CE) substituted donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) that can be switched between three stationary states under orthogonal control of light and metal ions. DASA-CE molecules are self-assembled into 1:1 head-to-tail supramolecular structures to form di-linear states due to strong van der Waals interactions between electron-donating and -withdrawing moieties. Furthermore, treatment with metal ions (Na+ or K+) switches the di-linear back to the linear state, which is reversible after adding free crown ether. On the other hand, green light irradiation induces linear-to-cyclic isomerization of DASA-CE, while the photoisomerization from di-linear to cyclic state is inhibited. The reverse cyclic-to-linear isomerization can occur under heating in the dark. All in all, the orthogonal switching of DASA-CE between di-linear, linear and cyclic states enables the development of smart materials in environments with complex stimuli.

Micrometer-sized hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) (hPAMAM) particles are prepared with a simple A2B3 type Aza–Michael addition reaction between aminoethylpiperazine (AEP) and methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) in an inverse suspension polymerization condition. The synthesized particles exhibited surprisingly high Cu2+ sorption capacity (0.223g/g) for a solid-type absorbent. In addition to the high sorption ability of the particle, its simple synthetic process and convenience, due to its micrometer-sized spherical shape and recyclability, make it a practical and attractive absorbent for heavy metal ion removal from aqueous solutions.
