Porphyrin-based covalent organic framework coated stainless steel fiber for solid-phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water and soil samples

A porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (COF) was synthesized via a Schiff base reaction between tetra (4-aminophenyl) porphyrin and 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxaldehyde. The porphyrin-based COF was physically coated on stainless steel for headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) prior to their determination by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). Some properties of the prepared fiber like morphology, structure and stability were tested. The effective parameters including extraction temperature, extraction time, NaCl concentration, agitation speed, desorption temperature and desorption time on the performance by HS-SPME were optimized systematically. The study of extraction mechanism revealed the π-π stacking interaction between porphyrin-based COF fiber and PAHs. Under optimum condition of the developed method, a wide linear range (1–150 ng mL−1) with high determination coefficient (R2 > 0.99), low detection limit (0.25 ng mL−1) and low quantitation limit (0.5 ng mL−1) were obtained. The repeatability (one fiber, n = 3) and the reproducibility (fiber-to-fiber, n = 3) expressed as the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were in the range of 0.27%–1.75% (intra-day), 2.73%–6.69% (inter-day) and 3.34%–8.62% (fiber-to-fiber), respectively. The developed porphyrin-based COF HS-SPME method had been applied for the determination of PAHs in water and soil samples with satisfactory recoveries in the range of 67.87%–98.74%, 41.13%–104.76%, respectively.

Chemical bonding of oxygenated carbon nitride nanosheets onto stainless steel fiber for solid-phase microextraction of phthalic acid esters

In this work, oxygenated carbon nitride nanosheets (OCNNSs) were first introduced to the field of analytic chemistry for solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The rich hydroxyl and carboxyl contents of OCNNSs provided abundant adsorption sites. The coated stainless steel fibers, synthesized by the layer-by-layer chemical bonding method, had good chemical stability (in organic solvents), long life (durability ≥ 150 cycles), and good reproducibility (RSDs ≤ 9.2%). This novel OCNNSs-coated fiber was used for SPME with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the analysis of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in three types of food products (seafood, samshu, and instant noodles). Under optimal conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) for the PAEs ranged from 0.1 to 10.0 pg mL−1, and recovery was in the range of 80.0–118.1%. These novel coated SPME fibers displayed excellent separation and enrichment properties, which suggest a pretreatment application for analysis of PAEs.

Electrosynthesis of polypyrrole on steel fiber for solid-phase microextraction of citalopram in serum

A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technique using steel fiber coated with polypyrrole (PPY) was developed for UV-Vis determination of citalopram in blood serum. The coating was prepared using a three-electrode electrochemical system from an acetonitrile/aqueous (ACN/H(2)O) oxalic acid solution containing 0.01 M of pyrrole monomer by applying a potential range (0-1.3 V) for 25 min. In order to obtain an efficient film of PPY, experimental parameters related to the coating process were optimized, specifically deposition potential, concentration of monomer, and number of cycles.

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with metolachlor as template was firstly coated on stainless steel fiber through chemical bonding strategy to solve the fragility problem of silica fiber substrate for solid-phase microextraction. The surface pretreatment of stainless steel fiber and the polymerization conditions were investigated systematically to enhance the preparation feasibility and MIP coating performance, and then a porous and highly cross-linked MIP coating with 14.8-μm thickness was obtained with over 200 times re-usability which was supported by non-fragile stainless steel fiber adoption.

Moreover, the MIP-coated stainless steel fiber was evaluated for trace metolachlor, propisochlor and butachlor extraction in the spiked soybean and corn samples, and the enrichment factors of 54–60, 27–31 and 15–20 were obtained, respectively.

In Situ Hydrothermal Growth of Metal−Organic Framework 199 Films on Stainless Steel Fibers for Solid-Phase Microextraction of Gaseous Benzene Homologues

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received great attention due to their fascinating structures and intriguing potential applications in various fields. Herein, we report the first example of the utilization of MOFs for solid-phase microextraction (SPME). MOF-199 with unique pores and open metal sites (Lewis acid sites) was employed as the coating for SPME fiber to extract volatile and harmful benzene homologues. The SPME fiber was fabricated by in situ hydrothermal growth of thin MOF-199 films on etched stainless steel wire. The MOF-199-coated fiber not only offered large enhancement factors from 19,613 (benzene) to 110,860 (p-xylene), but also exhibited wide linearity with 3 orders of magnitude for the tested benzene homologues. The limits of detection for the benzene homologues were 8.3-23.3 ng L(-1). The relative standard deviation (RSD) for six replicate extractions using one SPME fiber ranged from 2.0% to 7.7%. The fiber-to-fiber reproducibility for three parallel prepared fibers was 3.5%-9.4% (RSD). Indoor air samples were analyzed for the benzene homologues using the SPME with the MOF-199-coated fiber in combination with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. The recoveries for the spiked benzene homologues in the collected indoor air samples were in the range of 87%-106%. The high affinity of the MOF-199-coated fiber to benzene homologues resulted from the combined effects of the large surface area and the unique porous structure of the MOF-199, the pi-pi interactions of the aromatic rings of the analytes with the framework 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid molecules, and the pi-complexation of the electron-rich analytes to the Lewis acid sites in the pores of MOF-199.
