Most attention has been given to substituents in which contains an imidazole as a nucleophile and R carries a hydroxyl or carboxyl function. 

Other chelating polymers related structurally to polyethylenimine and polyethyl-enimine have been derived from cyclopolymerized diallylamines. The structure and properties of these resins have been reviewed by Hodgkin. The attempted synthesis of novel linear poly(lV-alkylethylenimine)s, for metal complexation, by demethylation of ionene polymers has been described.The reaction (involving treatment with UAIH4) was successful only with ionene oligomers. 

Reactions of thiols and bisulphite with the pendant allyl groups in poly-triallylamine have been investigated.
