A new principle of design of complexing polymer sorbents and macromolecule‐metal complex catalysts with memory to sorbing metals and catalyzing substrates in other words “hosts” able to recognize “guests” was developed. Polyvinylpyridines of different structure, polyethyleneimine and polyethylenepolyamine were selected for preparation of such sorbents and catalysts. Polymer sorbents and catalysts prepared using this principle exhibit guest‐host phenomena and demonstrate significantly improved sorption and catalytic properties.
