Fundamentals, Synthetic Strategies and Applications of Non-Covalently Imprinted Polymers.

Molecular imprinting has emerged as an important and practical technology to create economical and stable synthetic mimics of antibodies and enzymes. It has already found a variety of important applications, such as affinity separation, chemical/biological sensing, disease diagnostics, proteomics, bioimaging, controlled drug release, and catalysis. In the past decade, significant breakthroughs have been made in non-covalently imprinted polymers, from their synthesis through to their applications.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Photophysical Properties of Bromothiophene-Functionalized BF-Curcuminoid as a Versatile Building Block.

A novel bromothiophene-functionalized BF-curcuminoid (BTC-BF) is synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation reaction. The structure of BTC-BF is determined by H-nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR), C-nuclear magnetic resonance (C NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Moreover, a nearly coplanar single crystal structure is successfully obtained and form a mesh structure through intermolecular multiple C─H···F hydrogen bond interactions.

Study on the creation of boronate affinity-based oriented imprinted silica nanoparticles and their selective recognition toward glycopeptide antibiotics in food and water.

Taking into account the drug resistance of antibiotics, teicoplanin has been banned in the veterinary field. Also, it brings threat to people's health when they eat foods containing teicoplanin residue. In addition, the abuse of teicoplanin in humans and food animals also poses a potential risk to water.
