Abstract :
The use of engineered sorbents with selective recognition capabilities, selective interactions with the target analytes and broad applicability represents an innovative and efficient approach in analytical methodologies, particularly for environmental applications. Sample preparation technologies based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have the potential to meet many of the key requirements of an ideal sample preparation system. Nevertheless, due to several inherent limitations, uncertainties still remain regarding the efficiency and practical applicability of conventional molecularly imprinted polymers. Integrating molecularly imprinted polymers with advanced functional materials not only provides an effective solution to these challenges but also significantly expands the application range of these composites. This review discusses recent advancements in the synthesis strategies and analytical applications of composites based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in various sample preparation techniques. Additionally, the inherent features of MIPs are summarized, and the structural and functional properties of MOFs and COFs as advanced sorbents are examined. Furthermore, the most recent developments in the design and fabrication of MOF- and COF-based MIP composites, with an emphasis on their practical applications, are presented. Finally, the existing challenges and future perspectives for the development of analytical methodologies based on these materials are outlined.
