Rationally designing molecularly imprinted polymer towards predetermined high selectivity by using metal as assembled pivot

Macromol Biosci. 2007 Sep 11;7(9-10):1112-20. doi: 10.1002/mabi.200700047.

Abstract

This article presents an original work aiming at rationally designing a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) towards high selective recognition. Assembled with (S)-naproxen as a template and 4-vinylpyridine as a functional monomer, a certain amount of cobalt, as pivot, is added for the preparation of MIP. The result indicates that the use of pivot plays obviously a positive role in increasing the specificity of MIP, so as to adsorb more for the template and less for its enantiomer. Related information indicates that this, in logic, can be a result of increasing match between binding sites and the templates, which makes the polymer capable of selectively recognizing the imprint species.
