Frontispiece: Adsorption and Quantification of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by using Hybrid Magnetic Nanoparticles

Adsorption tubes filled with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (represented by black dots) decorated with perylene bisimides (PBIs) are used to adsorb aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs, represented by colored dots). DFT‐D3 calculations anticipated the strong ability of the electron poor PBI to form noncovalent complexes with VOCs. The analysis of the adsorption tubes using thermal desorption coupled with capillary gas chromatography was used to quantify the aromatic VOCs. The tubes can be desorbed and reutilized more than 200 times without losing their properties. For more information see the Full Paper by M. de las Nieves Piña, A. Frontera et al. on page 12820 ff.
