G. Wulff et R. Schonfeld, POLYMERIZABLE AMIDINES - ADHESION MEDIATORS AND BINDING-SITES FOR MOLECULAR IMPRINTING, Advanced materials, 10(12), 1998, pp. 957
New styryl amidines have been found to be the first easily polymerizab
le amidine monomers. The effect of incorporation of these amidines in
copolymers and the use of amidinium groups as binding sites in molecul
arly imprinted polymers are briefly reviewed. The Figure represents a
microcavity imprinted by the polymerization of one of the new bisamidi
nium styryl salts with a transition-state-analogous template.
