Cyclodextrin has a unique hollow truncated cone structure with good molecular recognition.The selective recognition ability could be further improved by cyclodextrin molecularly imprinted polymer.In this work,the molecular structure and derivatization of cyclodextrin and molecularly imprinted technique were introduced.The preparation and application of molecularly imprinted polymers based on cyclodextrin were reviewed.Finally,the novel cyclodextrin functional monomers were prospected in the field of selective molecular recognition.
