Article Synopsis
  • The development of effective adsorbents for capturing phenoxy carboxylic acids (PCAs) is crucial for protecting human health, as PCAs pose potential risks.
  • The ionic covalent organic framework (ICOF) known as TpTG was created, featuring multiple positive charges and hydrogen-bonding sites, which enhanced its ability to adsorb anionic PCAs rapidly and sensitively.
  • Binding affinity analysis revealed that PCAs attach to TpTG through various interactions, leading to very low detection limits for rice and water, and its effectiveness was validated through real sample analysis.

Developing and establishing an efficient pre-treatment approach for the precise extraction of nitrated-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (N-PAHs) from real-life samples is critical for ensuring their safety. In this study, a novel crystalline magnetic covalent organic framework with a grapevine structure not a single core-shell, FeO@TAPT-DMTA-COF, was fabricated via chemical bonding. Unchanging the reticulated structure and high crystallinity of TAPT-DMTA-COF, the combination made this material possess not only simple operation via magnetic decantation but also remarkable chemical stability.

Food and environmental safety issues attributable to the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are gaining increasing attention, and these urge us to establish a high-performance sample-handling technique. In this study, an outstanding adsorption performance with short adsorption time (10 min) was achieved for PBDEs using a novel synthesized dispersive solid-phase extraction adsorbent, a reticulated covalent organic framework with N/O functional groups (i.e.

A porphyrinic metal-organic framework (PCN-224) was fabricated and used as an adsorbent for solid-phase extraction of ultratrace levels of polar sulfonamide antibiotics from food and drinking waters. The PCN-224 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction analyses. Parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized.

Water stable Zr-metal−organic framework nanoparticles (PCN-224 NPs, PCN refers to porous coordination network) have been solvothermally synthesized. PCN-224 NPs show spherical shape with smooth surface and particle size of approximately 200 nm. PCN-224 NPs can be stable in acid and aqueous solutions, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction.
