Abstract: A novel soluble molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIP) without chemical cross-linker was successfully synthesized. The quinine (QN), which the structure was similar to the template, was chosen as the immobile template to improve the affinity of MIP. 4-Methyl phenyl dicyclohexyl ethylene (MPDE) was used as the liquid crystal (LC) monomer to increase the rigid of the composite. The cooperative effect of QN and MPDE was demonstrated by comparing with the conventional MIP, which synthesized without QN and MPDE. The polymerization conditions of SMIP including the ratio of MAA to MPDE, template to functional monomer, and HQN to QN were also optimized. Moreover, the characterizations of the SMIP were investigated by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and nitrogen adsorption. In binding behavior, the SMIP presented the maximum adsorption capacity (0.37 ± 0.06 mmol/g) and imprinting factor (3.44 ± 0.25). And above all, the obtained polymer exhibited the solubility in the organic solution. In addition, the proposed SMIP as the electrochemical sensor exhibited a significant conductivity and sensitivity with the detection limit of 0.33 μM for HQN, the recoveries for the sample analysis varied from 97.4 to 100.8%, and the intra-day precision and inter-day precision were within 5.5% and 12.5%, respectively. It turned out that the SMIP had demonstrated more excellent potential than the traditional insoluble MIP in the development of the membrane-based electrochemical sensors
