Methylmercury MeHg+ is an organometallic species produced in aquatic environments and is more toxic than the inorganic species of mercury Hg2+ and Hgº, since it is soluble in the fatty tissues of animals and bioaccumulates. The present work describes the studies carried out to obtain an ion-imprinted polymers IIPs selective to methylmercury cation, interactions between the template and other components in the pre-polymerization stage were studied by computational simulation using density functional theory (DFT). From simulation results 2-mercaptobenzimidazol (MBI), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), acrylic acid (AA) and ethanol were selected as sulfhydryl ligands, functional monomer and porogenic solvent. IIPs for MeHg (IIP-MBI-AA and IIP-MBT-AA) and its corresponding control polymers without ligand were synthetized and characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 Sorption by Brunauer Emmett Teller technique (BET), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Additionally, the experimental results obtained were confirmed from the data predicted by molecular modeling. The maximum adsorption capacity ofMeHg+ ofthe ion imprinted polymers IIP-MBT-AA (457 ug L-1) and IIP-MBI-AA (157 ug L-1) showed huge differences with non-imprinted polymers (in more than 50%).The relative selectivity factor (k) values for IIP-MBT-AA were MeHg+/Hg2+ (0.86); MeHg+/Cd2+ (260.7); MeHg+/Pb2+ (288.1) and MeHg+/Zn2+ (1510.1 ), which reveals an adequate formation of specific recognition sites for MeHg+ ions as a result of the impression made during the synthesis. The imprinted polymer IIP-MBT-AA was applied to concentrate methylmercury cations in water samples with satisfactory results of up to 95% recovery. The ion imprinted polymer IIP-MBTAA was used for the preparation of an electrochemical sensor, which was incorporated in the carbon paste electrode and MWCNTs for the pre-concentration of MeHg+ and its quantification using the DPASV technique. Experimental and analytical parameters were evaluated. In the optimum experimental conditions, the proposed sensor (CPE / MWCNTs / IIP- MeHg+) exhibited a linear response range of 560 - 1500 µg L-1, and a detection limit of 0.538µg L-1 with an acceptable relative error values :S 1 % when was applied to real water samples.
