Calixarene‐modified chitosans (CTS–CA‐I and CTS–CA‐II) were first synthesized by the reaction of chitosan (CTS‐NH 2 ) with 1,3‐bis‐chloroethoxyethoxy‐2,4‐dihydroxy‐ p ‐ tert ‐butylcalix[4]arene (CA‐I) or its benzoyl derivative (CA‐II). Their structures were characterized by infrared and X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption of Ni 2+ , Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ , Pd 2+ , Ag + , and Hg 2+ by CTS–CA‐I and CTS–CA‐II was studied and the thermodynamic parameter of two calixarene‐modified chitosans toward Hg 2+ was deduced. The adsorption properties of CTS–CA‐I and CTS–CA‐II were greatly varied compared with that CTS‐NH 2 , especially with the adsorption capacity toward Ag + and Hg 2+ , because of the presence of the calixarene moiety. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
