Magnetite nanoparticles were surface-modified with mercaptoacetic acid (MAA), complexed with Zn(II), and then treated with the dual Schiff base (referred to as imine-based ligand; IBL; obtained by reaction of p-aminobenzoic acid and 2,3-butanedione) to give particles with an architecture of type Fe3O4@MAA@IBL. These are shown to be viable sorbents for magnetic solid phase extraction of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) from seawater samples. Efficient extraction of the OCPs probably is due to lone pair-pi, pi-complexation and pi-interactions. The sorbent was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The effects of the volumes of sample, sorbent dosage and eluent, adsorption and desorption times, and the salinity of the sample on the extraction efficiencies were optimized. The OCPs (heptachlor, aldrin, dieldrin, p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDT) were quantified by gas chromatography with microelectron capture detection. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detections range was between 1.0 and 1.9 ng L-1. The enrichment factors are between 84.1 and 99.9 %. The sorbent was applied to the rapid extraction of trace quantities of OCPs from seawater samples and gave good relative recoveries (78 to 108 %) and relative standard deviations (< 8.3 %).
