Application

2-(Trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid (TFMAA) is a strong acid functional monomer, which shows a good performance in the solid-phase extraction of domoic acid. It can also be used in the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers that show diastereoselectivity for cinchona alkaloids.

The formation of condensed matter typically involves a trade-off between structural order and flexibility. As the extent and directionality of interactions between atomic or molecular components increase, materials generally become more ordered but less compliant, and vice versa. Nevertheless, high
