A simple liquid phase microextraction (LPME) using a vesicular supramolecular solvent (SUPRAS) as the green extraction solvent has been developed for the enrichment of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) prior to their analysis by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. SUPRAS was prepared from a mixture of cationic surfactants: didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) under salt (NaCl) addition for coacervation. The LPME is based on electrostatic interaction between TCs and SUPRAS under salt induced phase separation. Under the optimum conditions, high enrichment factors (EFs) of 48-198, low limits of detection (LODs) in the range of 0.7-3.4 μg L and good precisions with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 7.85% were obtained. The applicability of the proposed method was demonstrated for the determination of TCs in milk, egg and honey samples. In addition, morphology, particle sizes and zeta potential of SUPRAS were also investigated.

Synaptic vesicle clusters or pools are functionally important constituents of chemical synapses. In the so-called reserve and the active pools, neurotransmitter-loaded synaptic vesicles (SVs) are stored and conditioned for fusion with the synaptic membrane and subsequent neurotransmitter release during synaptic activity. Vesicle clusters can be considered as so-called membraneless compartments, which form by liquid-liquid phase separation.

In this work, coacervation in primary amines solutions with hydrophobic natural deep eutectic solvents based on terpenoids and carboxylic acids was demonstrated for the first time. A liquid-phase microextraction approach was developed based on supramolecular solvent formation with primary amine acting as amphiphile and hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent making up mixed vesicles and serving as coacervation agent. Such supramolecular solvents could be used to separate wide range of substances from different aqueous media, such as food products, biological liquids and wastewaters.

Significant efforts have been dedicated to designing porous organic cage compounds with geometric complexity and topological diversity. However, the use of these cage molecules as premade building units for constructing infinite cage-based superstructures remains unexplored. Here, we report the use of a panel-decorated phosphine organic cage as a special monomer to achieve supramolecular polymerization, resulting in cage-by-cage noncovalent polymers through the synergy of metal-coordination and intercage-dimerization.
