Covalent Organic Framework in Situ Grown on Fe 3 O 4 Hollow Microspheres for Stir Bar Sorptive-Dispersive Microextraction of Triazole Pesticides

Based on covalent organic framework (COF) 1,3,5-tris-(4-formylphenyl)benzene-benzidine (TFPB-BD) in situ grown on Fe3O4 hollow microspheres and combined with gas chromatography-flame thermionic detector, a rapid and simple stir bar sorptive-dispersive microextraction method was developed for the determination of five triazole pesticides (paclobutrazol, hexaconazole, flusilazole, propiconazole, and tebuconazole). The synthesized TFPB-BD/Fe3O4 microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscope, vibrating sample magnetometer, and thermogravimetric analysis, which showed that the material has strong magnetism and higher load capacity of COF. Under optimal conditions, the extraction equilibrium could be achieved within 9 min with detection limits of 0.17–1.48 μg L−1 (S/N = 3) and a linear range of 5–1000 μg L−1. The developed method was applied to the determination of trace triazole pesticides in apples, pears, and cabbages with recoveries from 81 to 117
