Glycol chitosan (GC) and methyl glycol chitosan (MGC) were separately reacted with poly(potassium vinyl sulfate) (PVSK) in the presence of iron(III) hydroxide sulfate (IHS) to form water‐insoluble macromolecular complexes (MC's). The chemical compositions and properties of MC's obtained were compared with each other. The solubility of MC in the MGC‐IHS‐PVSK system was lower than that in the GC‐IHS‐PVSK system, and it was suggested that MGC contributes to the properties of MC.
