While selectively quantifying acylcarnitines in thousands of patient samples using UHPLC-MS/MS, we have occasionally observed unidentified branched-chain C8 acylcarnitines. Such observations are not possible using tandem MS methods, which generate pseudo-quantitative acylcarnitine "profiles". Since these "profiles" select for mass alone

Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with permanent microporosity and extended p-conjugated skeletons have recently shown the fascinating application in separation and enrichment. In this report, porphyrin CMP that possessed microporous structure and nitrogen-rich pyrrole building blocks was successfully synthesized by microwave-assisted
