Abstract

The present disclosure relates to charge-bearing polymeric materials and methods of their use for purifying fluid samples from micropollutants, such as anionic micropollutants.

Claims (35)

1. A porous polymeric material comprising:

(a) a plurality of cyclodextrins crosslinked with a plurality of crosslinks comprising structure (I):

(b) a plurality of crosslinks having a cationic moiety and a counteranion (X − );

wherein:

x is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4;

each L is independently a linking moiety selected from the group consisting of —O—, —S—, —N—,

C 1 -C 6 substituted or unsubstituted alkylene, C 1 -C 3 haloalkylene,

A′ a covalent bond to the phenyl ring of structure (I); and

* is a covalent bond attached to a carbon atom of said plurality of cyclodextrins.

2. The porous polymeric material of claim 1 , wherein the cationic moiety is —N(R 3 ) 3 + , —P(R 3 ) 3 + , —S(R 3 ) 2 + , or -Heteroaryl + , wherein each R 3 is independently —H, —C 1 -C 6 alkyl, —C 1 -C 3 haloalkyl, -aryl, —C(O)N(R a )(R b ), —C(O)R c , —CO 2 R c , —SO 2 N(R a )(R b ), or —SOR c , and each R a and R b is independently H, or C 1 -C 6 alkyl.

3. The porous polymeric material of claim 2 , wherein the cationic moiety is —N(R 3 ) 3 + .

4. The porous polymeric material of claim 3 , wherein the cationic moiety is —N(CH 3 ) 3 + .

5. The porous polymeric material of claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of linkers of structure (IV):

6. The porous polymeric material of claim 5 , wherein each cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.

7. The porous polymeric material of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of crosslinks having a cationic moiety and a counteranion (X − ) have structure (II):

8. The porous polymeric material of claim 7 , wherein each L is —O—.

9. The porous polymeric material of claim 8 , wherein X − is Cl −− .

10. The porous polymeric material of claim 7 , wherein X − is Cl −− .

11. The porous polymeric material of claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of cyclodextrins crosslinked with a plurality of crosslinks of structure (III):

12. The porous polymeric material of claim 11 , wherein each cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.

13. The porous polymeric material of claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of linkers of structure (IV):

14. The porous polymeric material of claim 13 , wherein each cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.

15. The porous polymeric material of claim 7 , wherein each cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.

16. The porous polymeric material of claim 1 , wherein each L is —O—.

17. The porous polymeric material of claim 16 , wherein X − is Cl −− .

18. The porous polymeric material of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of cyclodextrins crosslinked with a plurality of crosslinks of structure (III):

19. The porous polymeric material of claim 18 , further comprising a plurality of linkers of structure (IV):

20. The porous polymeric material of claim 19 , wherein each cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.

21. The porous polymeric material of claim 18 , wherein each cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.

22. The porous polymeric material of claim 1 , wherein each cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.

23. A method of purifying a fluid sample comprising one or more pollutants, the method comprising contacting the fluid sample with the porous polymeric material of claim 1 , whereby at least 50 wt. % of the total amount of the one or more pollutants in the fluid sample is adsorbed by the porous polymeric material.

24. A method of purifying a fluid sample comprising one or more pollutants, the method comprising contacting the fluid sample with the porous polymeric material of claim 7 , whereby at least 50 wt. % of the total amount of the one or more pollutants in the fluid sample is adsorbed by the porous polymeric material.

25. A method of removing one or more compounds from a fluid sample or determining the presence or absence of one or more compounds in a fluid sample comprising: a) contacting the sample with the porous polymeric material of claim 1 for an incubation period; b) separating the porous polymeric material after the incubation period from the sample; and c) heating the porous polymeric material separated in step b), or contacting the porous polymeric material separated in step b) with a solvent, thereby releasing at least a portion of the compounds from the porous polymeric material; and d1) optionally isolating at least a portion of the compounds released in step c); or d2) determining the presence or absence of the compounds released in step c), wherein the presence of one or more compounds correlates to the presence of the one or more compounds in the sample.

26. A solid-phase extraction device comprising the porous polymeric material of claim 1 .

27. A solid-phase extraction device comprising the porous polymeric material of claim 7 .
