Synthesis of a vinyl monomer, containing a 32‐membered crown ether unit (VCE) as a pendant group, was achieved by using tetra(ethylene glycol) dichloride, resorcinol, and 3,5‐dihydroxyacetophenone as starting materials. The product was identified by means of FTIR and 1 H‐NMR. It was found that this monomer readily polymerizes by the conventional radical initiator 2,2′‐ azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) to afford a polymer whose number‐average molecular weight is 36 kg/mol; however, the final conversion of the polymer was < 80%. The results of the copolymerization of VCE with styrene (ST) or acrylonitrile (AN) are also discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 84: 2372–2379, 2002
