The utilization of synthetic macromolecules to change thereactivities of low molecular weight species has recently received considerable attention, 2 particu-larly since these reactions can serve as models for the more complex enzymatic processes. Although these polymeric catalysts are considerably less efficient than enzymic catalysts, several analogies between the natural and synthetic macromolecular systems have been revealed. For example, synthetic polymeric species can be characterized by (a) higher reactivities than corresponding monomeric systems, 2 (b) specificity of substrate hydrolysis (particularly if the substrate is of a charge opposite to that of the charged groups on the polymer), 2-4 (c) competitive inhibition by substances similar to the reactive substrate, 6· 6 (d) bifunctional catalysis involving the interactions of two pendent functional groups and substrate, 2· 4· 7-9 and (e) satura-tion (complexation) by high and low molecular weight reagents. 6· 10-14 In general, the behaviors of synthetic polymers toward low molecular weight compounds are of two different types. First, if two low molecular weight ionic species are the reactive reagents, a polymer with charged groups will tend to concentrate and/or repel one or both low molecular weight reagents in its vicinity and, consequently, will functon as either an inhibitor or an accelerator of the reaction. Secondly, if cata-lytically active functions are added to a polymer which contains charged groups, the polymer itself, and not its counterions, is able to react with either charged or
