A Study of the Strength of a Template Molecule—A Functional Monomer Interaction That Affects the Performance of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Its Application to Chiral Amplification
molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), N-benzoyl-(S)-valine anilide-imprinted polymer (IP-2), was prepared using hydrogen-bonding interactions as a main force in the pre-polymerization step. The performance of the IP-2 was evaluated via batch procedure and compared with a (S)-valine anilide-imprinted polymer (IP-1) that was prepared using an ionic interaction that is stronger than hydrogenbonding. Although both
