Separation Characteristics of Ionic Liquids Grafted Polymethylsiloxanes Stationary Phases for Capillary GC

Ionic liquids (ILs) grafted polymethylsiloxane (PMS) stationary phases (IL-PMS) for capillary gas chromatography (CGC) are described. The stationary phases were synthesized by grafting 1-vinyl-3-hexylimidazolium (VHIm) with either NTf ₂ ^? or PF₆ ^? anion to poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMS-VHIm-NTf₂, PMS-VHIm-PF₆) and coated statically onto fused-silica capillary columns. Separation characteristics of the stationary phases involving Abraham solvation parameters, separation ability and thermal stability were investigated. The obtained solvation parameters reveal that both IL-PMS stationary phases exhibited unique intermolecular interactions compared with either ILs or PMS due to the synergistic effect of ILs and PMS chemically combining together. The separation performance of the IL-PMS stationary phases was investigated by a Grob mixture and a complex mixture of 26 compounds of different types. The results show that the present stationary phases exhibit excellent resolution and selectivity for the analytes of interest with narrow and symmetric peak shapes. Thermal stability was also investigated by column bleed profiles with satisfactory results. The satisfactory chromatographic performance and thermal stability of the IL-PMS stationary phases suggest their great potential as a new type of CGC stationary phases.     

Study of Chiral Ionic Liquid as Stationary Phases for GC

Due to the synthetic flexibility and special enantioselectivity, chiral ionic liquids (CILs) have heightened interest and an increasing number of CILs has been designed and utilized. In this work, CIL named l-1-butyl-3-(2-propionic-1-ether) imidazolium bromide ([BAlaIM]Br) derived from natural amino acids was synthesized, with chiral center at cation moiety. Chiral stationary phases for gas chromatography were then prepared by mixing the CIL with polymeric ionic liquid ([PSOMIM][NTf₂], homemade) at different ratios (4:1, 2:1, and 1:1). The column efficiency was measured to be about 3,200 plates m⁻¹ (8 m × 0.25 mm i.d.) when the content of [BAlaIM]Br was 50 % (mass percent) in the mixed stationary phase. All columns were coated via the static coating method using 0.30 % (w/v) of stationary phases dissolved in methanol. The results showed that the CIL contributed to the selectivity of stationary phase toward positional isomers dichlorobenzenes, methylnaphthalenes and pinenes, etc. Meanwhile, [BAlaIM]Br showed better selectivity for enantiomers such as carvones, citronellals, limonenes and camphors. The interactions between chiral selector and enantiomers were also discussed.

Comparison of Analytical Properties of Two Liquid Crystalline Stationary Phases by Capillary GC

Two related novel liquid crystals used as gas chromatographic stationary phases were evaluated for their analytical properties and separation capabilities, 2-(1-ethyloctyloxy)-4-(4′-(4-butoxybenzoyloxy)-benzoyloxy)-4′-ethyl-azobenzene (LCC) and azo-(4-ethylbenzyl)-3-(2-(1-ethyloctyloxy)-4-(4-(4-butyloxybenzoyloxy)benzoyloxy)pyridino (LCN). The thermal properties of LCC and LCN were established with differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing microscopy. The comparative study of the retention behavior for the both liquid crystals was also reported. The study of the chromatographic performance of a column coated with liquid crystals in the solid, nematic and liquid state was done using a series of appropriate solutes. The mesogenic compounds exhibit interesting separation for some positional and geometrical isomers in aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, volatile aromatic compounds and polyaromatic hydrocarbons.     

A Comparative Analytical Study of Two New Liquid Crystals Used as Stationary Phases in GC

The investigation of the analytical properties of two new nematic sulphur-containing liquid crystals 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-azophenyl)-2-butylthio-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Phase I) and 5-(4-(propoxyphenyl)-azophenyl)-2-butyl thio-1,3,4-oxadiazole (Phase II) and which comprise units of 1,3,4-oxadiazole instead of the aromatic cycles, was carried out by gas chromatography using glass capillary columns. For this purpose, many solutes belonging to various families and having different polarities and volatilities were injected. Comparison of the retention data of the studied components has shown that Phase II allowed a better separation than the other phase. The two liquid crystalline materials show a good separation of the studied isomers except for xylene.

Monolithic Stationary Phases for Capillary Electrochromatography Based on Synthetic Polymers: Designs and Applications

Monolithic materials have quickly become a well‐established stationary phase format in the field of capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Both the simplicity of their in situ preparation method and the large variety of readily available chemistries make the monolithic separation media an attractive alternative to capillary columns packed with particulate materials. This review summarizes the contributions of numerous groups working in this rapidly growing area, with a focus on monolithic capillary columns prepared from synthetic polymers. Various approaches employed for the preparation of the monoliths are detailed, and where available, the material properties of the resulting monolithic capillary columns are shown. Their chromatographic performance is demonstrated by numerous separations of different analyte mixtures in variety of modes. Although detailed studies of the effect of polymer properties on the analytical performance of monolithic capillaries remain scarce at this early stage of their development, this review also discusses some important relationships such as the effect of pore size on the separation performance in more detail.

Preparation of Cationic Mixed-Mode Acrylamide-Based Monolithic Stationary Phases for Capillary Electrochromatography

A series of amphiphilic macroporous mixed-mode acrylamide-based continuous beds bearing positively charged quaternary ammonium groups is synthesized for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) under variation of the concentration of the cationic monomer in the polymerization mixture. Positively charged mixed-mode monolithic stationary phases are synthesized in pre-treated fused silica capillaries of 100 µm I.D via single step free radical copolymerization of cyclodextrin-solubilized N-tert-butylacrylamide, a hydrophilic crosslinker (piperazine diacrylamide), a hydrophilic neutral monomer (methacrylamide), and a positively charged monomer ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethyl ammonium methyl sulfate) in aqueous solution containing the lyotropic salt ammonium sulfate as a pore-forming agent. The synthesized monolithic stationary phases contain hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and charged functionalities. They can be employed for the CEC separations of different classes of neutral and charged solutes (with varied polarity) in the reversed-phase mode, in the normal-phase mode, in the ion-exchange mode, in a mixed-mode, or in the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) mode. The influence of the concentration of the cationic monomer in the polymerization mixture on retention factor, electroosmotic mobility, and methylene selectivity (α_meth) is studied under isocratic conditions for alkylphenones in the reversed-phase mode by capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs demonstrate that the morphology of the synthesized monoliths (i.e., the domain size) is strongly influenced by the variation of the concentration of the cationic monomer in the polymerization mixture.     

Chiral Separations by Capillary Electrochromatography on Multiple-Interaction Based Stationary Phases

Summary The direct resolution of neutral amino acid and amino alcohol derivatives by pressurized capillary electrochromatography (p-CEC) is reported. Separations were performed on columns packed with multiple-interaction based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in reversed-phase mode, using borate buffer/acetonitrile mixtures as the eluent. Two CSPs were used: 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-(R)-phenylglycine (DNB-PGLY)- and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-(R)-naphthylglycine (DNB-NGLY)-silica bonded, respectively. Baseline separations of N-benzoyl--naphthylamide derivatives of phenylalanine and leucine were accomplished on DNB-PGLY-CSP in less than three minutes, and on DNB-NGLY-CSP within about 3.5 minutes, with a comparable efficiency of 160.000 plates per meter. As expected, DNB-NGLY-CSP showed higher selectivity for the compounds under study. The R-isomer eluted before the S-isomer on both CSPs. The effect of the buffer pH on the efficiency of the columns was also studied. With buffer pH over the values of 8–8.5, free residual -aminopropyl groups on the silica particles seemed do affect neither selectivity nor resolution. At these mobile phase conditions calculated efficiency against electroosmotic flow plot is consistent with that generally obtained in CEC, providing a reduced plate height of about 1.8 at a linear velocity of 0.5 mm s^–1. With buffer pH values under 7.0, protonation of the free aminopropyl groups strongly affected the resolution with the result of higher retention and lower solute mass transfer.     

Characterizations for Vinylimidazolium Based Ionic Liquid Polymer Stationary Phases for Capillary Gas Chromatography

Six polyvinylimidazolium based ionic liquids were prepared for use as stationary phases for gas chromatography. The influences of the attached side-chains (hexyl-, octyl- and phenylpropyl-) on the vinylimidazolium cations and of different counter ions (bromide, hexafluorophosphate, bis-trifluoromethanesulfonlyimide, and bis-trifluoroethanesulfonylimide) were studied. Linear solubility parameter experiments were conducted to characterize the specific interactions of these stationary phases. Some of the polymerized ionic liquid stationary phases exhibited unique structural selectivity. m-, and p-xylenes could be distinguished. The preparation of the polymerized ionic liquid column is simple and reliable. This work provides detailed information for designing polymerized ionic liquids, and shows that these materials have great potential extending the range of options for stationary phases in gas chromatography.

Cellulose Derivatives Used as Chiral Stationary Phases in Capillary Gas Chromatography

Abstract

In this work, we present the first separation of enantiomers in gas chromatography (GC) using a fused‐silica capillary column containing cellulose triacetate, cellulose triphenylcarbamate, or cellulose tris(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) as the new chiral stationary phase. The separated solutes included alcohols, amine, ketone, ether, ester, and amino acid. Their column efficiency, polarity, and chiral selectivity were studied. The retention mechanism was discussed. The results showed that those derivatives had relatively high chiral recognition abilities and can be used as the chiral stationary phases in GC.

Study of Anion Effects on Separation Phenomenon for the Vinyloctylimidazolium Based Ionic Liquid Polymer Stationary Phases in GC

Poly-vinyloctylimidazolium ionic liquid polymers with different counter ions (bromide, hexafluorophosphate and bis-trifluoromethanesulfonylimide) were directly coated in capillary fused silica tubing as the stationary phases for gas chromatography. The anion effects on the polymers were examined and discussed. The results suggest that the poly-vinyloctylimidazolium, bis-trifluoromethanesulfonylimide capillary column has the highest thermal stability and separation efficiency. Column-to-column reproducibility was also studied. The results indicate that anions significantly influence ionic liquid polymers which give them potential to extend the range of options for the stationary phases in gas chromatography.
