Fabrication of fluorinated magnetic microporous organic network for selective and efficient extraction of benzoylurea insecticides in tea beverages

In this work, a novel fluorinated magnetic microporous organic network (Fe 3 O 4 @FMON) was exquisitely designed and synthesized for highly efficient and selective magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) of fluorinated benzoylurea insecticides (BUs) from complex tea beverage samples. The Fe 3 O 4 @FMON exhibited good extraction for BUs via the pre-designed hydrophobic, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding and specific F F interactions. A sensitive Fe 3 O 4 @FMON-based MSPE-HPLC-UV method with wide linear range (0.10–1000 μg L −1 , R 2  ≥ 0.996), low limits of detection (0.01–0.02 μg L −1 ), and large enrichment factors (85.6–98.0) for BUs from tea beverage samples was developed. By decorating F elements within MON's networks, the Fe 3 O 4 @FMON characterized good hydrophobicity and chemical stability, which could be reused at least 8 times without decrease of recoveries. This work demonstrated the great prospects of Fe 3 O 4 @FMON for enriching trace BUs from complex substrates and triggered the potential of FMON for sample pretreatment of fluorinated analytes.
