Abstract

Cellulose ethers were prepared by the reaction of sodium cellulosate with 1-chloromethylnaphthalene, 2-bromomethyl-pyridine, 2-chloropyridine, crotyl bromide, propargyl chloride, and 1-naphthyl glycidyl ether and their complexation ability was investigated. No [formula omitted]-complex formation with picric acid or 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene took place. Results were attributed to steric hindrance from the cellulosic backbone. Complexation of some metal salts by the crotyl and propargyl ethers was investigated. Good results were obtained with mercuric chloride, aluminum chloride, and silver nitrate when propargyl cellulose was used.
