Construction of synthetic polymer-based reaction field prepared by molecularly imprinted polymers and the regulation of binding activity of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) by cavity-selective post-imprinting introduction of functional groups were proposed. MIP was prepared using a functional monomer bearing a benzamidine group, which can interact with carboxy group. Photo-dimerization reaction of 2-anthracene carboxylic acid with or without MIP was investigated and found that the reaction yield was changed by addition of MIP. It indicated that selective reaction field was created in MIP matrix. And also, regulation of binding activity of MIP was demonstrated by cavity-selective post-imprinting modification, which utilized the difference of binding affinity between the imprinted cavities.
