Designing selective sites in templated polymers utilizing coordinative bonds.
This review gives a survey over recent achievements on the design of selective sites in templated polymers. Particularly, coordinative bonds as driving force for the interaction between a substrate and a templated polymer are discussed. Recent achievements on the selective recognition of larger molecules, such as dipeptides and disaccharides, are highlighted that promise a fast development on biomolecule templated material towards enzyme-like catalysis in the up-coming years. Additionally, the achievements on the incorporation of catalytic centers based on transition metal complexes are summarized.
