Molecular recognition materials bearing halogen bonding-based binding sites were synthesized by a non-covalent imprinting technique using a 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-iodostyrene (TFIS) as the functional monomer. The binding sites were generated by co-polymerizing TFIS, styrene and divinylbenzene in the presence of the template molecule (4-dimethylaminopyridine—DMAP). The imprinted polymer preferentially adsorbed aminopyridine derivatives, suggesting that halogen bonding may play a role in the selective recognition of analytes by the synthesized synthetic receptor.
