An ion exchange resin comprises a crosslinked resin and a salt covalently bonded to a carbon of the resin, wherein the salt comprises a first non-metallic cation and a first counteranion, wherein the first counteranion comprises a second non-metallic cation and a thiosulfate counteranion, and wherein the ion exchange resin is essentially free of metals. The ion exchange resin finds particular use in the removal of impurities from solutions that are useful in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
