Transfer-volume effects in two-dimensional chromatography: adsorption-phenomena in second-dimension size-exclusion chromatography

Gradient-elution LC × LC is a valuable technique for the characterization of complex biological samples as well as for synthetic polymers. Breakthrough and viscous fingering may yield misleading information on the sample characteristics or deteriorate separation. In LC × SEC another phenomenon may jeopardize the separation. If the analytes adsorb on the SEC column under the injection-plug conditions, peak splitting may occur. In LC × LC the effluent from the first column is the sample solvent for the analytes injected into the second dimension. If a gradient-elution LC × SEC setup is used (i.e. if reversed-phase gradient-elution LC is coupled to organic SEC and if normal-phase gradient-elution LC is coupled to SEC with a polar solvent), the percentage of weak solvent may be significant, especially at short analysis times. In this case adsorption in the first-dimension-effluent zone on the second-dimension SEC column can become an issue and two peaks--the first eluting in size-exclusion mode and the second undergoing adsorption--can be obtained. The work presented in this paper documents peak splitting in LC × SEC of polymers. The adsorption of the polymer on the size-exclusion column was proven in one-dimensional isocratic runs. The observed effects were modeled and visualized through simulation. Studies on the influence of the transfer volume were carried out. Keeping the transfer volume as small as possible helped to minimize peak splitting due to adsorption.

Peak-splitting in reversed-phase,ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography of sympathomimetic drugs and its probable mechanism

Summary In the determination of ephedrine using reversed-phase, ion-pair liquid chromatography, a chromatographically pure sample was observed to give three peaks under certain mobile phase conditions. The mobile phases which produced maximum peak splitting were determined for ephedrine and a number of other sympathomimetic drugs.A proposal that peak splitting was the result of the composite interplay of two discrete chromatographic mechanisms, was investigated. The results of analysis by GC/MS confirmed that each peak was due to ephedrine, however, only one of the three split peaks was found to contain ion pairs. It is postulated that peak splitting is a physical phenomenon on reversed-phase columns and the separation of these drugs by ion-pair HPLC is based on a mixed rather than a single mechanism.This study has also shown that errors can arise in ion-pair HPLC when multiple peaks are assumed to indicate heterogeneity. Interconvertible species of the same solute can give rise to these peaks.

The solvation of Li and Na in acetonitrile from ab initio-derived many-body ion–solvent potentials

Several Li⁺- and Na⁺-acetonitrile models were derived from ab initio calculations at the counterpoise-corrected MP2/TZV++(d,p) level for distorted ion-(MeCN)_n clusters with n=1, 4 and 6. Two different many-body ion-acetonitrile models were constructed: an effective three-body potential for use with the six-site effective pair model of Böhm et al., and an effective polarizable many-body model. The polarizable acetonitrile model used in the latter model is a new empirical model which was also derived in the present paper. Mainly for comparative purposes, two ion-acetonitrile pair potentials were also constructed from the ab initio cluster calculations: one pure pair potential and one effective pair potential. Using all these potential models, MD simulations in the NPT ensemble were performed for the pure acetonitrile liquid and for Li⁺(MeCN) and Na⁺(MeCN) solutions with 1 ion in 512 solvent molecules and with a simulation time of at least 120 ps per system. Thermodynamic properties, solvation-shell structure and the self-diffusion coefficient of the ions and of the solvent molecules were calculated and compared between the different models and with experimental data, where available. The Li⁺ ion is found to be four-coordinated when the new many-body potentials are used, in contrast to the six-coordinated structure obtained for the pure pair and effective pair potentials. The coordination number of Na⁺ is close to six for all the models derived here, although the coordination number becomes slightly smaller with the many-body potentials. For both ions, the solvent molecules in the first shell point their nitrogen ends towards the cation, while in the second shell the opposite orientation is the most common.

Elimination of the artefact peaks in capillary electrophoresis determination of glutamate by using organic solvents in sample preparation

Focusing on the demand from the food industry for fast and reliable alternative methods to control the quality of food products, we present in this paper a method for amino acid separation and glutamic acid quantification in complex matrices employing capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection. We demonstrate by simulation and experimentally the use of organic solvents in sample preparation to prevent peak splitting and increase stacking in capillary electrophoretic separations of amino acids. Additionally, we obtained results for glutamic acid quantification comparable to those obtained via traditional methods used at industrial sites. We tested premium and low‐cost samples with large variations in their glutamic acid content, which demonstrated the wide range of applicability of the method presented herein. The results of the proposed capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection based capillary electrophoresis method agreed with those obtained by an enzymatic detector and ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, considering a confidence level of 95%.

A study of thermal peak splitting in capillary GC

Fluctuating thermal gradients are recognized as a distinct source of peak splitting in capillary column gas chromatography. In this study, the influence of analyte signal level, temperature oscillation amplitude, and oscillation frequency on splitting are quantitatively examined. Stable gradients are also considered. A simple, effective method is proposed for virtually eliminating thermal peak splitting in isothermal capillary GC analysis.

Solubility and physic-chemical properties of NaH2PO4 in phosphoric acid,sodium chloride and their mixture solutions at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K

In this study, solubility and physic-chemical properties of sodium dihydrogen phosphate in sodium chloride, phosphoric acid and their mixture solutions at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K have been investigated by using isothermal dissolution method. In the three systems, the solubility of NaH₂PO₄ always increases with the temperature increasing and decreases with molar concentration of phosphoric acid (sodium chloride) increasing because of the same ion effect. Solubility data of sodium dihydrogen phosphate in the mixed solution of sodium chloride and phosphoric acid is basically required for designing and optimizing the solvent extraction process in the industrial production.     

Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of Poly(triazine imide)

Poly(triazine imide) was synthesized with incorporation of Li⁺ and Cl^? ions (PTI/Li⁺Cl^?) to form a carbon nitride derivative. The synthesis of this material by the temperature‐induced condensation of dicyandiamide was examined both in a eutectic mixture of LiCl–KCl and without KCl. On the basis of X‐ray diffraction measurements of the synthesized materials, we suggest that a stoichiometric amount of LiCl is necessary to obtain the PTI/Li⁺Cl^? phase without requiring the presence of KCl at 873 K. PTI/Li⁺Cl^? with modification by either Pt or CoO_x as cocatalyst photocatalytically produced H₂ or O₂, respectively, from water. The production of H₂ or O₂ from water indicates that the valence and conduction bands of PTI/Li⁺Cl^? were properly located to achieve overall water splitting. The treatment of PTI/Li⁺Cl^? with [Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺ cations enabled the deposition of Pt through ion exchange, demonstrating photocatalytic activity for H₂ evolution, while treatment with [PtCl₆]^2? anions resulted in no Pt deposition. This was most likely because of the preferential exchange between Li⁺ ions and [Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺ cations.     

Electrochemical reduction of nitrate using various anodes and a Cu/Zn cathode

Electrochemical reduction of nitrate was studied using a Cu/Zn cathode and Ti/Pt, Ti/IrO₂–Pt and Ti/RuO₂–Pt anodes in an undivided and unbuffered cell. A novel condition for performing both cathodic reduction of nitrate and anodic oxidation of the ammonia and nitrite by-products was achieved using Ti/Pt and Ti/IrO₂–Pt anodes in the presence of NaCl, especially with Ti/IrO₂–Pt anode. Nitrate could be completely removed using the Ti/IrO₂–Pt and Ti/Pt anode, with neither ammonia nor nitrite detected in the treated solution. A low nitrate reduction rate was observed when using a Ti/RuO₂–Pt anode in the presence of NaCl. However, in the absence of NaCl, all anodes showed good performance for nitrate reduction, with the Ti/Pt anode having the highest selectivity for reducing nitrate to nitrogen.
