Abstract

Polymer capable of specific binding to Cu^2+^‐2, 2′‐dipyridyl complex was prepared by molecular imprinting technology. The binding specificity of the polymer to the template (Cu^2+^‐2, 2′‐dipyridyl complex) was investigated by cyclic voltammetric scanning using the carbon paste electrode modified by polymer particles in phosphate buffer solution. Factors that influence rebinding of the imprinted polymer were explored. The results demonstrated that cyclic voltammetry was an efficient approach to explore interactions between template and imprinted polymers. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
