Hyperbranched polymers containing stereocontorted cores as on-line solid-phase microextraction adsorbent for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

A polymer monolith column was prepared using click chemistry for on-line solid phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), using 2,2′,7,7′-tetraethynyl-9,9′-spirobifluorene(TES) and 1,4-bis(6-azidoalkoxy)benzene (BAB) as monomers, and Cu(PPh 3 ) 3 Br as the catalyst. The polymer with spirocyclic cross-links was porous and presented an appropriate interspace of PAHs. Enrichment of PAHs, in the range of 100 to more than 1000 times, was due to the π – π stacking interaction and the effect of small size. The factors affecting the on-line microextraction efficiency were optimized, and the analytical conditions were evaluated to ensure reliability.
