Covalent bonds of ligands

FIGURE 3 Chemical pathway for covalent bonding of ligand exchanges with silica gel. 

The development of methodologies for the covalent bonding of ligands to polymeric supports is important for the preparation of novel reagents to be used in ionic and molecular separations which are important to the environment and for the preparation of chemical sensors which can be used in the monitoring of environmentally sensitive areas. Our research focuses on identifying the mechanisms by which immobilized ligands...
