Selectivity comparisons of monolithic silica capillary columns modified with poly(octadecyl methacrylate) and octadecyl moieties for halogenated compounds in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

Stationary phase selectivities for halogenated compounds in reversed-phase HPLC were compared using C18 monolithic silica capillary columns modified with poly(octadecyl methacrylate) (ODM) and octadecyl moieties (ODS). The preferential retention of halogenated benzenes on ODM was observed in methanol/water and acetonitrile/water mobile phases. In selectivity comparison of selected analytes on ODM and ODS, greater selectivities for halogenated compounds were obtained with respect to alkylbenzenes on an ODM column, while similar selectivities were observed with a homologous series of alkylbenzenes on ODM and ODS columns. These data can be explained by greater dispersive interactions by more densely packed octadecyl groups on the ODM polymer coated column together with the contribution of carbonyl groups in ODM side chains. For the positional isomeric separation of dihalogenated benzenes (ortho-, meta-, para-), the ODM column also provided better separation of these isomers for the adjacently eluted isomers that cannot be completely separated on an ODS column in the same mobile phase. These results imply that the ODM column can be used as a better alternative to the ODS column for the separation of other halogenated compounds.

Cholesteric bonded stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography: a comparative study of the chromatographic behavior

The properties of four cholesteric bonded stationary phases differing in the nature of the spacer and the end-capping were assessed using simple chromatographic tests based on the retention of nonpolar compounds and of planar or nonplanar probe solutes. All cholesteric columns showed a hydrophobicity close to that of conventional octadecyldimethylsilyl (ODS) materials. Non-end-capped cholesteric bonded phases showed greater selectivity than ODS ones and both end-capped cholesteric bonded phases exhibit behavior intermediate between that of the non-end-capped original material and that of the ODS bonded phase.     

Liquid chromatographic retention behavior of organometallic compounds and ligands with amine-, octadecylsilica- and beta-cyclodextrin-bonded phase columns

Effects of solvent composition and ligand variation on the retention of organometallic compounds have been studied using an amino, an octadecylsilica (ODS) and a beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) bonded phase column in either a normal-phase or a reversed-phase mode. The retention behavior for the organometallic compounds with the amino column can be rationalized using the displacement model. The "apparent" molecular areas are greater for compounds capable of strong hydrogen bonding. The retention in the ODS column roughly follows an argument based on the expected solubility behavior while mixed retention mechanisms are involved for the solubility behavior while mixed retention mechanisms are involved for the beta-CD column, i.e. both inclusion process and solubility or solvophobic interactions are possibly operative.     

Capillary electrochromatography using continuous-bed columns of sol-gel bonded silica particles with mixed-mode octadecyl and propylsulfonic acid functional groups

Continuous-bed columns containing sol-gel bonded 3 microm silica particles with mixed-mode octadecyl and propylsulfonic acid functional groups (ODS/SCX) were prepared by first packing the ODS/SCX particles into a fused-silica capillary, then filling the packed capillary with a siliceous sol-gel, curing the sol-gel, and finally drying the column with supercritical carbon dioxide. The performance of the sol-gel bonded ODS/SCX columns was evaluated for capillary electrochromatography using acetonitrile aqueous mobile phase containing phosphate buffer. The columns were mechanically strong and permeable. Both EOF velocity and current increased linearly with elevation of the applied electric field strength. The EOF velocity was high at low pH and nearly constant over a range of pH 2-9. Higher buffer concentration resulted in higher current and lower EOF velocity. The acetonitrile content had no significant effect on the EOF. Without thermosetting the column, no bubble formation was noticed with currents up to 2.5 microA. The minimum plate height of a 25/34 cm x 75 microm I.D. sol-gel bonded 3 microm ODS/SCX column was 5.7 microm (1.75 x 10(5) plates per meter) at an optimum EOF velocity of 0.92 mm s(-1). Mixtures of test aromatic compounds and aromatic hydrocarbon homologues gave symmetrical peaks when using a low pH mobile phase. The retention and elution order of aromatic compounds represented a typical reversed-phase separation mechanism similar to conventional ODS columns. The run-to-run and column-to-column retention factor reproducibility was better than 2.5% and 8.0% RSD, respectively.     

Retention behavior of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on cholesteryl 10-undecenoate bonded phase in microcolumn liquid chromatography

Summary The retention behavior of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in reversed-phase microcolumn liquid chromatography has been found to depend primarily on the inherent planarity of the molecules, the degree of orderliness of the bonded phase, and the concentration of solvent. The planarity recognition capability of cholesteryl 10-undecenoate bonded phase for large PAH is comparable with that of monomeric ODS phases. During solvation, however, the phase characteristics seemed to suggest a fairly rigid structure (an ordered phase), i.e. increased selectivity for non-planar molecules which approaches that of polymeric ODS rather than that of other phases with similarly bulky groups, e.g. naphthylethyl and pyrenylethyl bonded phases.

Cholesterol bonded phase as a separation medium in liquid chromatography. Evaluation of properties and applications

An extensive survey of the properties and separation capabilities of a cholesterol bonded phase is reported. The intermediate hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties of the bonded cholesterol material allows this stationary phase to be used for both reversed-phase and aqueous normal-phase separations. Interesting high selectivity is reported for the structural isomers of some antibiotics. The cholesterol bonded material does not display "phase collapse" in high aqueous content mobile phases. Variable temperature studies demonstrate that substantial structural changes of the bonded moiety occur that might be used to control selectivity. Finally, separation of some enantiomers of compounds with a variety of chemical structures is reported under reversed-phase conditions indicating that the cholesterol material may be chiral stationary phase with a broad range of applicability.     

Application of ion-pair high performance liquid chromatography for analysis of hyoscyamine and scopolamine in solanaceous crude drugs

A new ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of hyoscyamine and scopolamine in various kinds of crude drugs derived from solanaceous plants was evaluated using sodium dodecyl sulfate as a counter ion. A reversed-phase chromatographic system consisting of a chemically bonded ODS silica gel column with phosphate buffer (pH 2.5)-acetonitrile (65:35) containing 17.5 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate as the mobile phase was used. Hyoscyamine and scopolamine in crude drugs derived from Scopolia, Atropa, Hyoscyamus and Datura species were separated from other compounds in the crude drugs and determined within 20 min after direct injection of the solution extracted with the mobile phase. The results for various kinds of samples are presented.     

Retention characteristics of octadecylsilyl silica,trimethylsilyl silica and phenyldimethylsilyl silica in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

Summary The hydrophobic retention characteristics of stationary ligands for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography have been evaluated from the slope (r-value) of the plots relating the capacity factors (log k) of selected aliphatic and aromatic compounds with the reciprocal of methanol concentration (log (1/[MeOH])) in aqueous mobile phase. Octadecylsilyl (ODS), trimethylsilyl (TMS) and phenyldimethylsilyl (phenyl) groups were selected as the stationary ligands bonded to silica support.On ODS or TMS silicas, unlike on phenyl silica, aliphatic compounds gave slightly larger r-values than aromatic compounds, indicating that the shape of the ligand recognizes the hydrophobic surfaces of aliphatic and aromatic solute molecules. On TMS and phenyl silicas, the degree of solute hydrophobicity contributing to its retention is about 90% and 85% of that on ODS silica, respectively. On the other hand, on TMS and phenyl silicas, the polar functional group on the solute molecule brought about a smaller decrease in retention than on ODS silica.     

An attempt directed toward enhanced shape selectivity in reversed-phase liquid chromatography: preparation of the dodecylaminated beta-cyclodextrin-bonded phase.

With the aim of preparing a stationary phase with a high shape-recognition ability for liquid chromatography, a new bonded phase was synthesized by coupling multiply dodecylamino-substituted beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) to 3-glycidoxypropyl-derivatized silica gel. The stationary phase prepared in this way was expected to have increased shape selectivity compared with that of conventional reversed-phase materials, due to solute interactions with the alkyl chain piles built up on the beta-CDs bonded to silica. The separation characteristics of the bonded phase were investigated using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with different molecular shapes and compared with those of monomeric ODS and native beta-cyclodextrin-bonded phases. The newly developed stationary phase was found to be highly selective for PAHs.

Native and stearic acid modified ceria-zirconia supports in normal and reversed-phase HPLC

Porous ceria-zirconia composite with narrow particle size distribution and large specific surface area was synthesized by a sol-gel process. Chromatographic properties of the native supports was investigated in normal phase mode for the separation of test mixtures of basic, neutral and acidic compounds. The new packing material exhibited polar and basic properties, which are suitable for the separation of basic compounds. Lypophilic packing has been obtained by the modification of the ceria-zirconia with stearic acid, which exhibited strong hydrophobicity relative to the native packing. Therefore, the modified ceria-zirconia behaves as a reversed-phase packing material. Different selectivity towards basic compounds was observed on the new packing compared to the native ceria-zirconia and conventional ODS stationary phase.     

Comparison of the chromatography of octadecyl silane bonded silica and polybutadiene-coated zirconia phases based on a diverse set of cationic drugs

In this study, we compare the separation of basic drugs on several octadecyl silane bonded silica (ODS) phases and a polybutadiene-coated zirconia (PBD-ZrO2) phase. The retention characteristics were investigated in detail using a variety of cationic drugs as probe solutes. The ODS phases were selected to cover a relatively wide range in silanol activity and were studied with ammonium phosphate eluents at pH 3.0 and 6.0. Compared to any of the ODS phases, the PBD-ZrO2 phase showed very significant differences in selectivities towards these drugs. Due to the presence of both reversed-phase and ion-exchange interactions between the stationary phase and the basic analyte on ODS and PBD-ZrO2, mixed-mode retention takes place to some extent on both types of phases. However, very large differences in the relative contributions from ion-exchange and reversed-phase interactions on the two types of phases led to quite different selectivities. When phosphate is present in the eluent and adsorbs on the surface, the PBD-ZrO2 phase takes on a high negative charge over a wide pH range due to phosphate adsorption on its surface. On ODS phases, ion-exchange interactions result from the interactions between protonated basic compounds and ionized residual silanol groups. Since the pH of the eluent influences the charge state of the silanol groups, the ion-exchange interactions vary in strength depending on pH. At pH 6.0, the ion-exchange interactions are strong. However, at pH 3.0 the ion-exchange interactions on ODS are significantly smaller because the silanol groups are less dissociated at the lower pH. Thus, not only are the selectivities of the ODS and PBD-ZrO2 phases different but quite different trends in retention are observed on these two types of phases as the pH of the eluent is varied. More importantly, by using the large set of "real" basic analytes we show the extreme complexity of the chromatographic processes on the reversed stationary phases. Both the test condition and solute property influence the column performance. Therefore, use of only one or two probe solutes is not sufficient for column ranking.     

Study of a monolithic silica capillary column coated with poly(octadecyl methacrylate) for the reversed-phase liquid chromatographic separation of some polar and non-polar compounds

The performance of a monolithic silica capillary column coated with poly(octadecyl methacrylate) (ODM column) for the reversed-phase liquid chromatographic separation of some polar and non-polar compounds was studied, and the results were compared to those obtained by using a monolithic silica capillary column modified with octadecylsilyl-(N,N-diethylamino)silane (ODS column). Benzene and naphthalene derivatives, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), steroids, alkyl phthalates, and tocopherol homologues were used as test samples. In general, compounds with aromatic character, rigid and planar structures, and lower length-to-breadth ratios (more compacted structures) seem to have more preference for the polymer coated stationary phase (ODM). Compounds with acidic character have also a higher retention on ODM columns because of the presence of ester groups in the stationary phase. The polymer coated column allowed the separation of some PAHs, alkyl phthalates, steroids, and of beta- and gamma-tocopherol isomers which cannot be separated under the same conditions on ODS columns, while keeping similar column efficiency. These results allowed to suggest ODM columns as a good alternative to conventional ODS columns for reversed-phase liquid chromatography.
