https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.CT07154
Polymer containing ligand groups capable of forming bonds (or other attractive interactions) between two or more separate binding sites within the same ligand group and a single atom.
Note:
Chelating polymers mostly act as ion-exchange polymers specific to ions that form chelates with chelating @L03518@ of the polymer.
