On the basis of the definite retention mechanism proven by the stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography, tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazine featuring multiple recognition sites was assessed as a solid-phase extraction (SPE) selector. The applicability of its silica support was used for the extraction of trace amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Cu2+ in aqueous samples, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography fluorometric and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric determination. On the basis of the π–π interaction with PAHs and the chelating interaction with Cu2+, the simultaneous extraction of PAHs and Cu2+ and stepwise elution through tuning the eluent were successfully achieved, respectively. The SPE conditions affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized, including type and concentration of organic modifier, sample solution pH, flow rate, and volume. As a result of the special adsorption and desorption mechanism, high extraction efficiency was achieved with relative recoveries of 94.3–102.4% and relative standard deviations of less than 10.5%. The limits of detection were obtained with 0.4–3.1 ng L–1 for PAHs and 15 ng L–1 for Cu2+, respectively. The method was applied to the analyses of PAHs and Cu2+ in Xiliu Lake water samples collected in Zhengzhou, China.
