A monomolecularly imprinted dendrimer (MID) capable of selective binding with a tris(2-aminoethyl)amine guest through multiple functional group interactions.

A molecularly imprinted dendrimer (MID) with a colorimetric reporter group exhibits three-point binding of tris(aminoethyl)amine in THF with a K(assoc)= 3.3 x 10(6) M(-1).
