SUPRASs with increased hydrophilicity were synthesized to enhance the extractability of polar compounds. The aggregates formed by self-assembled double-headed amphiphile in hydro-organic media showed highly hydrophilic microenvironments, leading to increased recovery factors for perfluorinated compounds in natural waters. This work demonstrates that hydrophilicity in SUPRASs can be tailored to improve compound extractability in multi-residue analysis.
Supramolecular solvents (SUPRASs) are gaining momentum in the multi-residue analysis of liquid samples thanks to the delimited hydrophilic and hydrophobic microenvironments in their nanostructures. In this work, SUPRASs with increased hydrophilicity were synthesized with the aim of enhancing the extractability of polar compounds. For this purpose, a double-headed amphiphile, 1,2-decanediol, was self-assembled in hydro-organic media in the presence and absence of sodium chloride. The SUPRASs formed, characterized by scanning electron microscopy, consisted of sponge droplets made up of a highly convoluted three-dimensional (3D) network of amphiphile. The network contained interconnected bilayers that were intersected by similarly interconnected aqueous channels with high and nearly constant water content (similar to 30%, w/w). Both the inherently open structure of the sponge morphology and the increased hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of the amphiphile, provided highly hydrophilic microenvironments into the aggregates that rendered in increased recovery factors for 15 perfluorinated compounds (PFCs, C-4-C-18, log P-ow values from 0.4 to 11.6) in natural waters. Extraction took 15 min without further clean-up or evaporation of extracts which were readily compatible with LC-MS/MS quantitation. Absolute recoveries for PFCs, at the level of a few ng L-1, were in the range 70-120%, except for perfluoropentanoic acid (40%) and perfluombutane sulfonic acid (51%). Detection limits for PFCs in water were in the range 0.01-0.02 ng L-1, which allowed their determination in slightly polluted waters (0.07-2.33 ng L-1). This work proves that hydrophilicity in SUPRASs can be tailored through the amphiphile and the morphology of their aggregates, and that this characteristic improves compound extractability in multi-residue analysis.
