Abstract: Triazine based dialdehyde (DIPOD) and its Schiff's base derivatives were designed and synthesized from cyanuric chloride as template for molecular imprinting. Density functional theory calculation results revealed that distance between two aldehyde groups is 1.3 nm. Synthesized structurally rigid template having 1,3,5-triazine as core moiety, has been used as template to introduce two appropriately spaced amino groups for substrate binding on the solid surface of silica. The structures of the synthesized DIPOD and its Schiff's base were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-Vis spectral analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the compound have thermal stabilities above 300 °C
