TL;DR: This work proposes to comprehensively review the recent advances in molecular imprinting including versatile perspectives and applications, concerning novel preparation technologies and strategies of MIT, and highlight the applications of MIPs.
Abstract: Molecular imprinting technology (MIT), often described as a method of making a molecular lock to match a molecular key, is a technique for the creation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with tailor-made binding sites complementary to the template molecules in shape, size and functional groups. Owing to their unique features of structure predictability, recognition specificity and application universality, MIPs have found a wide range of applications in various fields. Herein, we propose to comprehensively review the recent advances in molecular imprinting including versatile perspectives and applications, concerning novel preparation technologies and strategies of MIT, and highlight the applications of MIPs. The fundamentals of MIPs involving essential elements, preparation procedures and characterization methods are briefly outlined. Smart MIT for MIPs is especially highlighted including ingenious MIT (surface imprinting, nanoimprinting, etc.), special strategies of MIT (dummy imprinting, segment imprinting, etc.) and stimuli-responsive MIT (single/dual/multi-responsive technology). By virtue of smart MIT, new formatted MIPs gain popularity for versatile applications, including sample pretreatment/chromatographic separation (solid phase extraction, monolithic column chromatography, etc.) and chemical/biological sensing (electrochemical sensing, fluorescence sensing, etc.). Finally, we propose the remaining challenges and future perspectives to accelerate the development of MIT, and to utilize it for further developing versatile MIPs with a wide range of applications (650 references).

TL;DR: This work is reviewing the numerous applications of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanoparticles (NPs) and briefly discuss their synthesis, and critically discusses limitations and applications specific problems.
Abstract: Artificial receptors exhibit several advantages compared to their biological counterparts such as stability, robustness and handling. Additionally, nanostructured materials exhibit excellent properties such as high surfaceto-volume ratio, low cost and easy preparation and handling. Consequently, the approach of molecularly imprinting has been extended from bulk materials to nanomaterials. We are reviewing the numerous applications of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanoparticles (NPs) and briefly discuss their synthesis. Furthermore, we discuss how and for which applications industry starts to use MIP NPs and what the current limitations are. MIP NPs can be applied as antibody replicae economizing template molecules and facilitating storage. Moreover, nanocomposite materials possess additional functionalities such as magnetic and semi-conductive cores. Nanosized MIPs are widespread applied for analytical separation via solid phase extraction (SPE), but also improves sensitivity in capillary electrophoresis (CE). Furthermore, such nanomaterials are applied in the field of sensors, e.g. in combination with transducers such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). MIP grafted optosensing materials, namely quantum dot (QD) composites, even allow for fluorescence detection of non-fluorescing analytes. Nevertheless, MIP NPs are also suitable for bio-applications such as drug delivery and pseudoimmunoassay. Finally, we critically discuss limitations and applications specific problems.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, assembly, and applications of nanoengineered reporting and transducing components critical for efficient biosensing, and envision the exciting potential of high-performance nanomaterials that will cause disruptive improvements in the field of biosensing.
Abstract: The robust, sensitive, and selective detection of targeted biomolecules in their native environment by prospective nanostructures holds much promise for real-time, accurate, and high throughput biosensing. However, in order to be competitive, current biosensor nanotechnologies need significant improvements, especially in specificity, integration, throughput rate, and long-term stability in complex bioenvironments. Advancing biosensing nanotechnologies in chemically “noisy” bioenvironments require careful engineering of nanoscale components that are highly sensitive, biorecognition ligands that are capable of exquisite selective binding, and seamless integration at a level current devices have yet to achieve. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, assembly, and applications of nanoengineered reporting and transducing components critical for efficient biosensing. First, major classes of nanostructured components, both inorganic reporters and organic transducers, are discussed in the contex...

TL;DR: Ion imprinting technology (IIT) aims to recognize ions while retaining the unique virtues of molecular imprinting (MIT), namely structure predictability, recognition specificity and application universality as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Ion imprinting technology (IIT) aims to recognize ions while retaining the unique virtues of molecular imprinting technology (MIT), namely structure predictability, recognition specificity and application universality. Owing to special coordination or electrostatic interactions, ion imprinted polymers (IIPs) are generally compatible with aqueous media and have advantages over most molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). IIPs can achieve effective identification of water-soluble ions, especially heavy metals and radioactive elements that cause increasing concerns. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances of ion imprinting, focusing on the current status and challenges in fundamentals and applications that involve almost all types of ions and ion-related molecular imprinting. In addition, various smart strategies are highlighted, such as surface imprinting, stimuli-responsive imprinting, dual/multiple components imprinting, click chemistry, and microwave-assisted heating. In this review, the elemental periodic table is first utilized as a template to introduce ion classification standards for various IIPs, including main groups, transition elements, actinides, rare earths, metalloids, anion imprinting and secondary imprinting. Finally, the challenges and possible solution strategies plus future trends are also proposed (302 references).

TL;DR: The diverse examples show that in recent years organocatalysis has developed within organic chemistry into its own subdiscipline, whose "Golden Age" has already dawned.
Abstract: The term "organocatalysis" describes the acceleration of chemical reactions through the addition of a substoichiometric quantity of an organic compound. The interest in this field has increased spectacularly in the last few years as result of both the novelty of the concept and, more importantly, the fact that the efficiency and selectivity of many organocatalytic reactions meet the standards of established organic reactions. Organocatalytic reactions are becoming powerful tools in the construction of complex molecular skeletons. The diverse examples show that in recent years organocatalysis has developed within organic chemistry into its own subdiscipline, whose "Golden Age" has already dawned.
