Novel magnetic mesoporous molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) with core-shell structure were prepared by simple surface molecular imprinting polymerization using tetrabromobisphenol-S (TBBPS) as the template. The MMIPs-TBBPS were characterized by fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption transmission, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The resultant MMIPs-TBBPS were successfully applied magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) coupled with HPLC determination of TBBPS in spiked real water samples with recoveries of 77.8-88.9%. The adsorption experiments showed that the binding capacity of MMIPs-TBBPS to TBBPS and six structural analogs were significantly higher than that of the magnetic nonimprinted polymers (MNIPs). Meanwhile, the MMIPs-TBBPS possessed rapid binding affinity, excellent magnetic response, specific selectivity and high adsorption capacity toward TBBPS with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1626.8µgg-1. The analytical results indicate that the MMIPs-TBBPS are promising materials for selective separation and fast enrichment of TBBPS from complicated enviromental samples.
