Synthesis and characterization of deep eutectic solvents (five hydrophilic and three hydrophobic), and hydrophobic application for microextraction of environmental water samples. Anal Bioanal Chem. 2019 Oct 08;: Authors: Qu Q, Lv Y, Liu L, Row KH, Zhu T Abstract Hydrophilic and hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as "green" solvents were applied in this study for the microextraction of environmental samples. A series of DESs (five hydrophilic and three hydrophobic) were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Physicochemical property parameters of eight DESs including water solubility, density, conductivity, and freezing point were assessed. Compared with the performance of five hydrophilic DESs in water phase, the three hydrophobic DESs were more suitable for application in dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction for the determination of sulfonamides in water sample. In dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction process, analytical parameters including type and volume of extraction solvent, extraction time, and pH of water sample were investigated. Under optimum conditions, 60 μL of hydrophobic DESs was used for extraction for 2 min in pH = 7.0 sample. The linear ranges were 0.05-5.0 μg/mL for the four sulfonamides with the correlation coefficients in the range of 0.9991-0.9999. The limits of detection were in the range of 0.0005-0.0009 μg/mL and the limits of quantification were in ...
