A chelating vinyl monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)–iminodiacetic acid (IDA), was formed by the reaction between GMA and IDA. Three polymeric chelating agents, PGMA–IDA, PGMA–IDA‐co‐methyl acrylate (MA), and PGMA–IDA‐co‐acrylamide (AAm), were also synthesized. Acid dissociation constants and stability constants of these chelating agents with Ni(II), Zn(II), and Co(II) were determined by means of potentiometric titration and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry, respectively. The values of K a 1 and K a 2 of all the polymeric chelating agents were smaller than those of GMA–IDA. The stability constants of all the polymeric chelating agents were larger than those of GMA–IDA. Increasing the MA content within PGMA–IDA‐co‐MA affected the stability constant only slightly. A proper molar ratio of AAm in PGMA–IDA‐co‐AAm, stability constants was 30–60 times greater than that of GMA–IDA. However, as the molar content of AAm increased, the stability constant of PGMA–IDA‐co‐AAm decreased. The results obtained in the polymer system are explained in terms of the polymer's stereo and entanglement structure, the neighboring effect, and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic nature of MA or AAm. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
