Room-temperature synthesis of fluorinated covalent organic framework coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for determination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in drinking water.

The routine monitoring of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in drinking water has become an important task in the field of public health. In this study, a fluorinated covalent organic framework (COF) was synthesized at room temperature using tetra-(4-aminophenyl) methane (TAM) and 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro-terephthalal (TFTA) as building blocks and named as TAM-TFTA-COF. The adsorption characteristics of PFASs on the TAM-TFTA-COF were investigated through adsorption model-fitting and molecular calculation.

Dual-Modal Biosensor for Detection Based on a Porphyrin-Based Porous Organic Polymer FePor-TPA with Excellent Peroxidase-like, Catalase-like, and Photoelectrochemical Properties.

Bacterial infections seriously harm human health and cause many severe diseases, which triggered urgent demands to exploit specific and sensitive biosensor strategies for detection. Here, a colorimetric and photoelectrochemical dual-mode biosensor for assay based on FePor-TPA was constructed. 2D FePor-TPA thin film and its bulk powder (FePor-TPA) were synthesized by in situ growth on ITO and a solvothermal condition, respectively, both of which exhibited excellent peroxidase-like and catalase-like activity, originating from their metalloporphyrin linkers.

Three-dimensional hydroxylated covalent organic frameworks for solid phase extraction of glucocorticoids in environmental water samples.

It is challenging to achieve the highly sensitive detection of glucocorticoids at ultratrace levels because of the abundant hydrophilic groups in their molecules and the complexity of environmental water sample matrices. Here, a highly crystalline three-dimensional hydroxylated covalent organic frameworks (denoted by COF-301) with tetra(4-anilyl)methane (TAM) and 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde (DHTA) as building units was constructed and proposed as adsorbent for solid phase extraction (SPE) of glucocorticoids. Theoretical studies were conducted to elucidate the potential adsorption mechanism of glucocorticoids on the COF-301.

Facile preparation of hydroxyl bearing covalent organic frameworks for analysis of phenoxy carboxylic acid pesticide residue in plant-derived food.

The development of sensitive method for analysis ofpesticide residue is of great significance to ensure food safety and promote globalization of food trade. An original method was proposed for analysis of phenoxy carboxylic acids (PCAs) pesticide in plant-derived food. To concentrate trace PCAs, the TAPT-DHTA-COF was fabricated by a facile room-temperature method and utilized as the solid phase extraction cartridge packing.
