We have demonstrated a fluorescent functional monomer instead of the traditional functional monomers for molecularly imprinted sensors. The sensors were firstly used to selectively detect 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) by solid fluorescence detection without a dispersion solution. Moreover, the selectivity and anti-interference ability of the SiO 2 @dye-FMIPs sensor meet the requirements of a fluorescent sensor. The novel fluorescent monomer introduced into MIP is no longer just a fluorophore without recognizing ability. The fluorescence intensity of SiO 2 @dye-FMIPs showed a linear response to 2,4,6-TCP concentration in the range of 0-100 nM with a detection limit of 0.0534 nM. We could also demonstrate that such a system can not only get rid of the confines of traditional functional monomers and detection manner, but also improved the applications of MIPs sensors in sensing systems.
