AIEgens were adopted as templates to separately investigate the effects of functional groups and molecular size on the imprinting process and sorption capacity. The possibility of using solid-state fluorescence for quantification was proved.

Two effective molecularly imprinted polymers for the adsorption of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) were synthesized by the cross-linking of chitosan with epichlorohydrin (ECH) and glutaraldehyde (GLU), respectively, in the presence of ALA as template molecules. Investigations on the molar ratios of ALA and chitosan (–NH2) in the preparation of chitosan molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were carried out with a factor of ALA rebinding capabilities. The surface morphology and chemical properties of the polymers were characterized. The optimized MIPs crosslinked by ECH (MIPs–ECH) and MIPs crosslinked by GLU (MIPs–GLU) had adsorption capabilities of 12.09 mg/g and 19.72 mg/g for ALA, respectively. The adsorption behaviors of two kinds of chitosan MIPs including adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated in detail. Adsorption and kinetic binding experiments showed that the prepared MIPs–ECH and MIPs–GLU had selective adsorption and excellent affinity for ALA. In addition, the possible binding models between ALA and chitosan oligosaccharide were predicted by molecular dynamics simulation.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized and applied for the selective extraction of oblongifolin C (OC) from fruit extracts of Garcinia yunnanensis Hu. A series of experiments and computational approaches were employed to improve the efficiency of screening for optimal MIP systems in the study. The molar ratio (1:4) was chosen at last based on the comparison of the binding energy of the complexes between the template (OC) and functional monomers using density functional theory (DFT) at the RI-PBE-D3-gCP/def2-TZVP level of theory. The binding characterization and the molecular recognition mechanism of MIPs were further explained using the molecular modeling method and NMR and IR spectra data. The reusability of this approach was demonstrated in over 20 batch rebinding experiments. 140.5 mg of OC (>95% purity) was obtained from the 5 g extracts with 2 g of MIPs with the best binding properties through gradient elution program from 35% to 70% methanol-water solution. At the same time, another structural analog, 46.5 mg of guttiferone K (GK) (>88% purity), was also obtained by the gradient elution procedure. Our results showed that the structural analogs could be separated from the crude extracts by the molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) using a gradient elution procedure for the first time.
