Abstract:		"It has been recently evidenced that hybrid magnetic nanomaterials based on perylene diimide (PDI) dopamine and iron oxide nanoparticles are useful for the adsorption and determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, NDI compounds are expensive and difficult to handle compared to smaller size diimides. Therefore, in this manuscript a combined experimental and theoretical investigation is reported including the analysis of the effect of changing the aromatic surface on the ability of these magnetite supported organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) to adsorb several aromatic and non-aromatic VOCs. In particular, two new hybrid Fe(3)O(4)NPs are synthesized and characterized where the size of organic PDI dopamine linker is progressively reduced to naphthalene diimide (NDI) and pyromellitic diimide (PMDI). These materials were utilized to fill two sorbent tubes in series. Thermal desorption (TD) combined with capillary gas chromatography (GC)/flame detector (FID) was used to analyze both front and back tubes. Adsorption values (defined as % VOCs found in the front tube) were determined for a series of VOCs. The binding energies (DFT-D3 calculations) of VOC-Fe(3)O(4)NP complexes were also computed to correlate the electron-accepting ability of the arylene diimide (PDI, NDI or PMDI) with the adsorption capacity of the different tubes. The prepared hybrids can be easily separated magnetically and showed great reusability"
