ABSTRACT N-heterocyclic acrylamide monomers were prepared and then transferred to the corresponding polymers to be used as an efficient chelating agent. Polymers reacted with metal nitrate salts (Cu2+, Pb2+, Mg2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Fe2+) at 150°C to give metal-polymer complexes. The selectivity of the metal ions using prepared polymers from an aqueous mixture containing different metal ion sreflected that the polymer having thiazolyl moiety more selective than that containing imidazolyl or pyridinyl moieties. Ion selectivity of poly[ N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acrylamide] showed higher selectivity to many ions e.g. Fe3+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+. While, that of poly[ N-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylamide] is found to be high selective to Fe3+ and Cu2+ only. Energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements, morphology of the polymers and their metallopolymer complexes, thermal analysis and antimicrobial activity were studied. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
