Abstract: For roughly the last 30 years, chemistry has gained increasing understanding of the importance of interactions between individual molecules in addition to those leading to new chemical compounds. Artificial recognition systems both for analytical and catalytic purposes have evolved from this understanding and continue attracting increasing scientific interest. When it comes to straightforward synthesis of such systems, molecular imprinting into polymers seems unparalleled, because self-organization between monomers and a template molecule determine the steric and functional features of the final recognition cavity in the material. Despite great efforts and success, the field is still subject of substantial research, both for better understanding the molecular mechanisms of the process and for finding innovative ways to push molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) forward towards production/synthesis on an industrial scale
