Supramolecular solvents (SUPRASs) have been long recognized as outstanding extractants in analytical processes. In addition to their remarkable properties for solubilization of a number of polar and apolar compounds using minute volumes of solvent, they can be tailored at will and produced spontaneously at reduced cost. Although not enough effort has been devoted to the synthesis of new solvents and elucidation of their structure, important progress has been performed in the past decade to the development of new formats and the coupling to different detection systems. This article gives an overview of the state of art of how solvents are produced, their capability for extraction and concentration, the formats used, the strategies developed to make SUPRASs compatible with a number of detection systems, and major applications reported on the extraction of metals and organic compounds in the biological, environmental, and agrifood areas.
Este proyecto ha aplicado la metodología de revisión por pares para evaluar y mejorar la docencia en inglés de distintas asignaturas dentro del plan de bilingüismo de la Universidad de Córdoba. Se ha realizado la evaluación por parte de compañeros, la grabación de algunas clases, y una serie de sesiones presenciales en las que se han discutido los resultados y planteado puntos de mejora.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
