Theoretical and computational studies of molecular imprinting have helped provide valuable insights concerning the nature of the molecular-level events underlying the recognition characteristics of molecularly imprinted materials. Here, we first present an overview of a thermodynamic treatment of factors governing the behaviour of these functional materials, and then a summary of the development and current status of the use of computational strategies for studying aspects of molecular imprinting and the resulting material properties.
