description Grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi Macf.) peel, a by-product of the citrus-processing industry, possesses an important economic value due to the richness of bioactive compounds. In this study, boron-linked covalent organic frameworks integrated with molecularly imprinted polymers (CMIPs) were developed via a facile one-pot bulk polymerization approach for the selective extraction of naringenin from grapefruit peel extract. The obtained CMIPs possessed a three-dimensional network structure with uniform pore size distribution, large surface areas (476 m2/g), and high crystallinity. Benefiting from the hybrid functional monomer APTES-MAA, the acylamino group can coordinate with the boronate ligands of the boroxine-based framework to form B-N bands, facilitating the integration of imprinted cavities with the aromatic skeleton. The composite materials exhibited a high adsorption capacity of 153.65 mg/g, and a short adsorption equilibrium time of 30 min for naringenin, together with favorable selectivity towards other flavonoid analogues. Additionally, the CMIPs captured the template molecules through π–π* interaction and hydrogen bonding, as verified by FT-IR and XPS. Furthermore, they had good performance when employed to enrich naringenin in grapefruit peels extract compared with the common adsorbent materials including AB-8, D101, cationic exchange resin, and active carbon. This research highlights the potential of CMIPs composite materials as a promising alternative adsorbent for naringenin extraction from grapefruit peel.
