Application of the solvation parameter model to poly(methylcyanopropylsiloxane) stationary phases

The solvation parameter model has been applied to the specific retention volumes of 65 solutes of varied polarity on glass capillary columns coated with commercial and synthesized poly(methylcyanopropyl)siloxanes (CNPXX) with eight different percentages of cyanopropyl group (CNP). Their system constants were determined at 75, 90, 105 and 120 degrees C. The polymers examined do not either show any acidity (b = 0) or interact with solute pi/n electrons (e = 0); the prominent constants, dipolarity/polarizability and hydrogen-bond basicity, are of the same order (s approximately a), and the cavity formation/dispersive forces have normal values. Constants s, l and a decrease linearly with temperature for each cyanopropyl percentage. At each temperature, the constants s and a increase with polarity of polymer according to a curve, while the constant l decreases slightly. Cluster analysis shows that six CNPXX with medium to high cyanopropyl substitution integrate into a group with other high-polarity cyano-containing stationary phases taken from the literature, while the other three CNPXX with low CNP percentage form a group with other low-polarity stationary phases of different chemical nature. These clusters are supported by the dendrogram of 52 stationary phases made with the nine polymers presented here and other 43 taken from the literature.     

Gas chromatography of tricyclic spiro esters

Summary The separation of some tricyclic spiro esters on fused-silica capillary columns coated with dimethylsiloxane, cyanopropyl methyl siloxane and poly(ethylene glycol) stationary phases was investigated. Retention indices were determined at two temperatures to interpret their chromatographic behaviour. The repeatability of the measurements was 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 index units. The influence of the polarity of the stationary phases on the chromatographic retention of these tricyclic spiro esters is discussed.     

Retention time prediction of compounds in Grob standard mixture for apolar capillary columns in temperature-programmed gas chromatography

This paper presents an extension of a previous investigation in which the behavior of nonpolar compounds in temperature-programmed gas chromatographic runs was predicted using thermodynamic (entropy and enthalpy) parameters derived from isothermal runs. In a similar manner, entropy and enthalpy parameters were determined for a Grob standard mixture of compounds with widely varying chemical characteristics. These parameters were used to predict the retention times and chromatographic behaviors of the compounds on four gas chromatography capillary columns: three that had phenyl-based stationary phases (with degrees of substitution of 0%, 5% and 50%) and one with (50%) cyanopropyl substitution. The predictions matched data empirically obtained from temperature-programmed chromatographic runs for all of the compounds extremely well, despite the wide variations in polarity of both the compounds and stationary phases. Thus, the results indicate that such simulations could greatly reduce the time and material costs of chromatographic optimizations.     

OH-terminated cyanopropyl silicones

Due to their high polarity and unique selectivity, cyanopropyl silicones are basic stationary phases for high resolution capillary gas chromatography. Different OH-terminated cyanopropyl silicones, containing a high cyanopropyl content, were synthesized and chromatographically evaluated. Special attention was paid to the degree of immobilization of the phases in FSOT columns. Depending on the problem at hand, a choice has to be made between immobilization and maximum selectivity.     

Identification of FAMEs using ECL values and a three-dimensional Kováts retention index system

n-Alkanes and fatty acid methyl esters have been chromatographed on four capillary columns of different polarity (LM-1 (100% polydimethylsiloxane), CB-225 (25% cyanopropyl, 25% phenyl polysiloxane), LM-100 (immobilized polyethylene glycol), and BPX-70 (70% cyanopropyl polysiloxane)) with the goal of identifying the major fatty acid methyl esters obtained by derivatization of vegetable oils. Chromatographic retention data were employed for the construction of a three-dimensional Kováts retention index system and for the elaboration of a table of equivalent chain length values.     

Polarizable biphenyl polysiloxane stationary phase for capillary column gas chromatography

A crosslinkable biphenylmethylpolysiloxane stationary phase was synthesized for capillary column gas chromatography and compared with methyl, phenyl, and cyanopropyl polysiloxane stationary phases for the separation of isomeric polycyclic aromatic compounds. While the new phase gave similar separations of nonpolar isomers when compared to the nonpolar phases, separations of polar isomers were greatly improved because of the induced polarity of the biphenyl group of the stationary phase by the solute molecules. This polarizable stationary phase offers a unique selectivity which is not available in other stationary phases.     

Relationship between structure and retention of polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDE) in HRGC in comparison with other groups of halogenated aromatic compounds

The GC-retention of 106 polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDE) has been examined on five different stationary phases representing a broad range of polarities: CP Sil8/10%C18 (Sil8-type with 10% of octadecyl groups), SE 54 (methyl-/5% phenyl-polysiloxane), OV 1701 (7% phenyl-/7% cyanopropyl-polysiloxane), DB Dioxin (a polysiloxane phase, which incorporates 44% methyl, 28% phenyl, 20% cyanopropyl and 8% polyethylene groups) and SP 2331 (90% biscyanopropyl-/10% phenylcyanopropyl (1:1)-polysiloxane). Standard narrow-bore columns (0.2–0.3 mm i.d.) were used.Structural principles for the retention of the PCDEs in gas chromatography were compared with the retention behaviour of the closely related polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and the tetrachloro-methyl-diphenylmethanes (tetrachlorobenzyltoluenes, TCBT). The structure-retention behaviour of the PCDEs is partly similar to the TCBTs in spite of the differences in polarity. The differences between the structure-retention behaviour of the PCDEs and the PCBs can best be explained with the increasing possibility of a coplanar arrangement of PCBs with a decreasing number of chlorine substituents in the ortho positions of the phenyl-phenyl bond.     

Evaluation of ionic liquid stationary phases for one dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and comprehensive two dimensional gas chromatographic analyses of fatty acids in marine biota

Ionic liquid stationary phases were tested for one dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and comprehensive two dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) of fatty acid methyl esters from algae. In comparison with polyethylene glycol and cyanopropyl substituted polar stationary phases, ionic liquid stationary phases SLB-IL 82 and SLB-IL 100 showed comparable resolution, but lower column bleeding with MS detection, resulting in better sensitivity. The selectivity and polarity of the ionic liquid phases are similar to a highly polar biscyanopropyl-silicone phase (e.g. HP-88). In GC×GC, using an apolar polydimethyl siloxane×polar ionic liquid column combination, an excellent group-type separation of fatty acids with different carbon numbers and number of unsaturations was obtained, providing information that is complementary to GC-MS identification.

Influence of some inorganic salts on the polarity of apolar polymer phases in capillary gas chromatography

Different stationary phases were prepared by mixing a series of inorganic salts with dimethylsiloxane polymer (SE-30) and then tested by capillary gas chromatography. It was demonstrated that the polarity (as evaluated by measurement of Rohrschneider constants) of the mixed stationary phases, which is inferior or equal to that of a medium-polar OV-25 phases, reached even lower values than SE-30 alone. The influence of NaF, NaCl, NaBr, AgNO₃, and other inorganic salts on the polarity of capillaries is reflected by a better resolution and shorter retention time of cis/trans isomers of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMES) as well as positional isomers of triglycerides.     

The mobile-phase effects on stationary-phase properties in capillary supercritical fluid chromatography

A significant uptake of supercritical mobile phases into immobilized stationary phases has been observed. The phase swelling effect has been evaluated hydrodynamically for SE-30, SE-54, and cyanopropyl silicone phases with respect to the mobile-phase density of supercritical butane, column temperature, and the presence of a polar retention moderator. Some kinetic and retention consequences of the swelling phenomena are discussed.

Capillary gas chromatography of aromatic bicyclic and tricyclic spiro ketones

Summary The separation of some aromatic bicyclic and tricyclic spiro ketones on fused silica capillary columns coated with polydimethylsiloxane, cyanopropylmethylsiloxane and poly(ethylene glycol) stationary phases was investigated. Retention indices were determined at two temperatures in order to enable understanding of the compounds’ chromatographic behaviour. The respective standard deviation values were 0.8, 0.5 and 0.3 index units. The influence of the polarity of the stationary phases on the chromatographic retention of these cyclic spiro ketones is discussed.     

The effect of the trifluoropropyl group in polysiloxane stationary phases used for capillary gas chromatography

Four poly(methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl siloxanes) with trifluoro-propyl group content (group substitution) between 8 and 35 percent have been synthesized and characterized as stationary phases for gas chromatography in borosilicate glass capillary columns. Results are compared with those from two commercial stationary phases–a polydimethylsiloxane and a poly(methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl siloxane) with a fifty percent trifluoropropyl group content (group substitution). Retention index values, McReynolds constants, polarity (as defined by McReynolds) and retention polarity (as defined by Takács) increase regularly with the trifluoropropyl group content of the stationary phase. The temperature coefficient of the retention indices of the McReynolds probes, and that of the polarities, have been determined at temperatures between 60 and 180 °C. Specific retention volumes do not follow the linear dependence on trifluoropropyl group content observed for retention indices or polarities. Substances with electron-donor groups show maximum retention for a trifluoropropyl group content of ca 30%, whereas the retention of hydrocarbons, halogenated compounds, and alcohols decreases as the degree of trifluoropropyl group substitution increases from 0 to 50%. It is felt that a polysiloxane with a trifluoropropyl group content of ca 30 to 35% would be the best choice for the separation of ketones, nitro compounds or amines.     

烃类化合物在不同色谱柱上的定量结构-保留相关性研究

运用量子化学中的AMI方法计算烃类化合物的分子结构描述参数,借助逐步回归法建立了烃类化合物在不同极性色谱柱上的QSRR模型。结果表明：烷烃、烯烃、二烯烃类化合物在不同极性的色谱柱上的色谱保留与其分子结构描述参数之间具有较好的线性关系,烃类化合物在不同极性固定相上的保留主要与溶质分子的MR有关,即与溶质分子的色散力有关。随着溶质分子的不饱和度的增加,或固定相极性的增强,溶质分子与固定相之间的电荷传递作用随之增强。而且,烃类化合物在不同极性固定相上的色谱保留的QSRR模型均可用量化参数HOMO、LUMO、EICE以及MR参数来描述。所建立的在不同极性色谱柱上的烃类化合物的色谱保留QSRR模型预测烃类化合物的色谱保留值时具有较好的稳定性和准确性。     

Factors Influencing the Isothermal Retention Indices of 51 Solutes on 12 Stationary Phases of Different Polarity: Applicability of the Solvation Parameter Model

Isothermal retention indices (I) at 333–413 K on 12 stationary phases (SPs) covering a wide polarity range of a variety of volatile solutes belonging to 7 one-heteroatom chemical function series and 10 non-series solutes have been determined. The I values were computed with a method (LQG method) which does not require the determination of holdup times of the chromatographic column. I values of some compounds never before studied are reported. The influence on the retention indices of the column temperature, methylene number, and polarity of both the stationary phase and the solute has been studied. The solvation parameter model (SPM) as a function of I has been used for predicting I values, and for unraveling the influence of the polarity of stationary phase and solute on the retention indices. Seeley et al.’s formulation of the SPM has been used for quantifying the influence of polar and non-polar interactions on the I, and for checking the agreement between calculated and experimental values. According to our results, the I values obtained by the modified SPM can be considered equal to the experimental I values at the 99 % confidence level.

Effect of ionic additives on the elution of sodium aryl sulfonates in supercritical fluid chromatography

Addition of a small amount of polar solvent (i.e., modifier) to CO2 in packed column supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has shown major improvements in both polar analyte solubility and interaction of the polar analyte with the stationary phase. Recently, the addition of an ionic component (i.e., additive) to the primary modifier by one of us has been shown to extend even further the application of SFC to polar analytes. In this work, the effect of various ionic additives on the elution of ionic compounds, such as sodium 4-dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium 4-octylbenene sulfonate, has been studied. The additives were lithium acetate, ammonium acetate, tetramethylammonium acetate, tetrabutylammonium acetate, and ammonium chloride dissolved in methanol. Three stationary phases with different degrees of deactivation were considered: conventional cyanopropyl, deltabond cyanopropyl, and bare silica. The effect of additive concentration and additive functionality on analyte retention was investigated. Sodium 4-dodecylbenzene sulfonate was successfully eluted using all the additives with good peak shape under isocratic/isobaric/isothermal conditions. Different additives, however, yielded different retention times and in some cases different peak shapes.
