There is a lack of reagents for the efficientextraction of the metal chlorocomplexes formed at the natural pH of saline waters,requiring tedious and reagent consuming processes. To develop a simple method for theefficient micro-extraction of metallic chlorocomplexes in saline waters, two taskspecific ionic liquids (TSILs) are proposed. The TSILs Methyltrioctilammoniumhexylsulfanyl acetate ([N1888][C6SAc]) and methyltrioctilphosphonium hexylsulfanylacetate ([P1888][C6SAc]) have been supported on a solvent bar micro-extraction (SBME)and applied to the micro-extraction of Ag, Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn from seawater, as well asinland and marshland salt-pan waters. The extraction efficacy was related with the formation of negatively charged chlorocomplexes, being higher for Cd, Ag and Zn thanfor Cu and Ni. Concluding, the proposed methodology can be considered as a valuableand simple tool for the selective extraction of metals from saline and hypersaline naturalwaters.
