Mesoporous molecularly imprinted materials: From preparation to biorecognition and analysis

Abstract Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) refers to the technique of artificially customized materials with a specific shape, size, and functionalized site-specific recognition capability for specific target molecules. Mesoporous materials have an extremely high specific surface area, regularly ordered pore structure, narrow pore size distribution, and wide range of adjustable pore size, which enable them to adsorb and separate macromolecules that are difficult to complete in many microporous zeolite molecular sieves, and especially play a vital role in the catalytic reactions. Molecularly imprinted mesoporous materials possess specific recognition cavities complementary to the shape, size, and functional groups of the template molecule. It can specifically identify and enrich target analytes and has been widely used in sample preparation and chemical/biosensing. In this review, recent advances in molecularly imprinted mesoporous materials for medicine, environmental, proteomics, chirality, catalysis, and sensing, are comprehensively summarized and discussed.
