Given the complexity of the samples,the trace concentrations at which analytes are present in the samples, and the importance ofincorporating the Green Chemistry principles in the analytical process, the development ofmicroextraction techniques and the incorporation of new materials have been demanding researchlines within analytical sample preparation to address these challenges.Among the outstanding materials described that can meet green requirements and exhibitsuccessful analytical performance in sample preparation, ionic liquids (ILs) and metal-organicframeworks (MOFs) must be highlighted.ILs are molten salts formed by the combination of bulky organic cations and organic orinorganic anions. They present melting points lower than 100 °C and, depending on the moietiesselected and the incorporation of specific functional groups in their structure, they can exhibitspecific characteristics. Therefore, it is possible to prepare several interesting derivatives, such aspolymeric ionic liquids (PILs) and IL-based surfactants.MOFs are crystalline materials composed of metallic clusters and organic linkers connectedby coordination bonds. They are mainly characterized by their high surface area and tunability,which allows designing MOFs with specific topologies by selecting the adequate components andsynthetic conditions. These characteristics make MOFs potential materials to host targetcompounds.In this Doctoral Thesis, ILs and MOFs were designed, synthesized and incorporated in awide variety of challenging analytical applications using microextraction techniques. Among theexisting techniques, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and solid-phasemicroextraction (SPME) were selected due to their simplicity, fastness, and high preconcentrationability.
