Retention behavior of basic compounds on alkylphosphonate-modified magnesia-zirconia composite stationary phase in RPHPLC

Summary The chromatographic properties of an alkylphosphonate-modified magnesia-zirconia composite stationary phase have been investigated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with basic compounds as probes. The influence of organic modifier composition and mobile phase pH was studied. The new stationary phase, similar to a silica-based reversed-phase stationary phase, has hydrophobic properties, but greater pH stability. Use of the phase results in more symmetric peaks for basic compounds. A possible mechanism of retention of basic solutes on the new stationary phase is discussed. The chromatographic behavior of the basic solutes depends mainly on hydrophobic interactions between the solutes and the hydrophobic moiety of the stationary phase. Br?nsted acidic and basic sites on the surface of the new stationary phase play an important role in the retention of ionized solutes by ion-exchange interaction. Promising separations of some basic compounds have been achieved by use of methanolic TRIS buffer, pH 10.0, as the mobile phase.     

A new type of chemically bonded phase for reversed-phase HPLC.

A new type of ether-bonded packing for reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) was synthesized by reacting 1-octanol with beta-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, followed by coupling the product onto porous silica. The prepared packing was characterized by elemental analysis, solid-state 13C NMR, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Chromatographic evaluations were performed by using a mixture of organic compounds as the analyte and methanol-water as binary mobile phase. The influence of the composition of organic modifier on the retention behavior of basic compounds was studied. The hydrolytic stability of the packing between pH 2.5-7.5 was also investigated. The results showed that the new stationary phase has excellent chromatographic properties and good hydrolytic stability.     

Study of the retention behavior of small polar molecules on different types of stationary phases used in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography

The retention behavior of a large group of analytes (35) with varied properties (pK_a and logP) was studied on eight hydrophilic interaction LC columns with different surfaces, stationary phase chemistries, and types of particles. The acetonitrile content (5–95%), buffer concentration (0.5–200 mM), and pH of the mobile phase (3.8 and 6.8) were evaluated for their effects on the retention behavior. The type of stationary phase had a significant impact on the selectivity and retention time of the tested analytes. Completely different selectivity was observed on the aminopropyl stationary phase. In this study, the influence of the buffer concentration was similar for all tested columns, except for the aminopropyl stationary phase. Increasing the buffer concentration led to decreased retention times for the basic compounds and increased retention times for the acidic compounds, while the inverse behavior was observed on the aminopropyl stationary phase. The selectivity of the individual stationary phases was evaluated at pH 3.8 and 6.8. Much lower selectivity differences between the stationary phases were observed at pH 6.8 than pH 3.8. Bare silica stationary phases were used in the comparison of the particles (fused‐core and fully porous particles of 3 and 1.7 μm) and the columns provided by different manufacturers.     

Single-step preparation and characterization of polymeric monolith for pressurized capillary electrochromatography of typical homologs

A monolithic stationary phase was prepared in a single step by in situ copolymerization of iso-butyl methacrylate (IBMA), ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), and N,N-dimethylallylamine (DMAA) in a binary porogenic solvent consisting of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and 1,4-butanediol. As the frame structures of monoliths, the amino groups are linked to support the EOF necessary for driving the mobile phase through the monolithic capillary, while the hydrophobic groups are introduced to provide the nonpolar sites for the chromatographic retention. To evaluate the column performance, separations of typical kinds of neutral or charged homologs, such as alkylbenzenes, phenols (including isomeric compounds of hydroquinone, resorcin, and catechol), and anilines (including isomeric compounds of o-phenylenediamine and 1,4-phenylenediamine), were performed, respectively on the prepared column under the mode of pressurized pCEC. Effects of the buffer pH and the mobile phase composition on the linear velocity of mobile phase and the retention factors of these compounds were investigated. It was found that the retention mechanism of charged solutes could be attributed to a mixed mode of hydrophobic interaction and electrophoresis, while an RP chromatographic behavior on the monolithic stationary phases was exhibited for neutral solutes. Especially, basic compounds such as anilines were well separated on the monolithic columns in the "counterdirectional mode," which effectively eliminated the electrostatic adsorption of basic analytes on the charged surface of the stationary phases.     

Selectivity of some basic solutes on a poly(methyltetradecylsiloxane)-silica stationary phase

Complex analyses of polar compounds, especially basic ones, require more selective stationary phases. The present paper describes a stationary phase prepared by thermal immobilization of poly(methyltetradecylsiloxane) onto chromatographic silica (PMTDS-SiO(2)). This stationary phase presents hydrophobic and ion-exchange interactions that confer both high retention and unique selectivities for basic solutes. The influence of ion-exchange interactions is confirmed by the increase in retention factors of basic solutes when the mobile-phase pH changes from acidic to neutral and by the decrease in retention factors when the mobile-phase pH changes from neutral to alkaline. The ion-exchange properties of the stationary phase are enriched in neutral mobile phase (pH 7-7.5) using soft Lewis bases such as tricine and tris as buffers but are suppressed in both acidic (pH 2.5-6) and highly alkaline mobile phases (pH≤10). Increasing both temperature and flow rate permits more rapid separations while maintaining the selectivity. The stability of the stationary phase is evaluated with acid, neutral and alkaline mobile phases.     

Evaluation of calibration data in capillary electrophoresis using artificial neural networks to increase precision of analysis

An RP-HPLC study for the pKa determination of a series of basic compounds related to caproctamine, a dibenzylaminediamide reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, is reported. The 2-substituted analogues, bearing substituents with different electronegativity, were analysed by RP-HPLC by using C18 C4 stationary phases with a mobile phase consisting of mixture of acetonitrile and triethylamine phosphate buffer (pH range comprised between 4 and 10). Typical sigmoidal curves were obtained, showing the dependence of the capacity factors upon pH. In general, the retention of the investigated basic analytes increased with increasing of the pH. The inflection point of the pH sigmoidal dependence was used for the dissociation constant determination at a fixed acetonitrile percentage. When plotting pKa vs. percent of acetonitrile in the mobile phase for two representative compounds, linear regression were obtained: the y intercept gave the aqueous pKa(w). The pKa estimation by HPLC method was found to be useful to underline the difference of benzylamine basicity produced by the ortho aromatic substituents. The variation of pKa values (6.15-7.80) within the series of compounds was correlated with the electronic properties of the ortho-substituents through the Hammett sigma parameter, whereas the ability of substituents to accept H-bond was found to play a role in determining the conformational behavior of the molecules.     

Preparation and evaluation of n-octadecylphosphonic acid-modified magnesia-zirconia stationary phases for reversed-phase liquid chromatography

Three n-octadecylphosphonic acid-modified magnesia-zirconia reversed stationary phases (C₁₈PZM) are prepared via the strong Lewis base interactions between organophosphonate and magnesia-zirconia composite. And two of them are end-capped by using trimethylchlorosilane as end-capping agent in different procedures. Stability studies at extreme high pH conditions (pH 9-12) show that both the non-endcapped and endcapped columns are quite stable at pH 12 mobile phase. The reversed-phase liquid chromatographic behavior of three C₁₈PZM stationary phases are comparatively investigated in detail using a variety of basic compounds as probes. The retention of basic compounds on the three phases is studied over a wide range of pHs. And the possible retention mechanisms of basic compounds on the three stationary phases are discussed. The results show that the basic solutes retain by a hydrophobic and cation-exchange interaction mixed mechanism on three stationary phases when they are operated in eluents at pH values near to the pK_a of the Brönsted conjugate acid form of the analyte, suggesting that inherent zirconol groups on ZM are not expected to interact with bases via cation-exchange interaction at lower pH. Nonetheless, the non-endcapped phase differs markedly from the edncapped ones in retention and selectivity of basic solutes using eluents at pH 4.1, implying a complex retention mechanism at this pH. The cation-exchange sites under such conditions are more likely due to the adsorbed Lewis base anionic buffer constituents (acetate) on accessible ZM surface sites than the chemisorbed phosphonate. Although the three phases exhibit very similar chromatographic behavior with eluents at pH 10.1, and show in general satisfactory separation of basic compounds and alkaloids studied, the performance for a specific analyte, however, differs largely from column to column.     

Fluoroalcohols as novel buffer components for basic buffer solutions for liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry: retention mechanisms

Two fluoroalcohols--1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-methyl-2-propanol (HFTB)--were evaluated as volatile buffer acids in basic mobile phases for LC-ESI-MS determination of acidic and basic compounds. HFIP and HFTB as acidic buffer components offer interesting possibilities to adjust retention behavior of different analytes and expand the currently rather limited range of ESI-compatible buffer systems for basic mobile phases. Comparing with commonly used basic buffer components the fluoroalcohols did not suppress the ionization of the analytes, for several analytes ionization enhancement was observed. RP chromatographic retention mechanisms were evaluated and compared to traditional buffer system. All trends in retention of the acidic and basic analytes can be interpreted by the following model: the neutral fluoroalcohols are quite strongly retained by the stationary phase whereas their anions are less retained, thus their amount on the stationary phase is dependent on mobile phase pH; the anions of the fluoroalcohols form ion pairs in the mobile phase with the basic analytes; the fluoroalcohols on the stationary phase surface compete with acidic analytes thereby hindering their retention; the fluoroalcohols on the stationary phase bind basic analytes thereby favoring their retention.     

Imidazoline type stationary phase for hydrophilic interaction chromatography and reversed-phase liquid chromatography

An imidazoline was prepared by solvent-free microwave-assisted organic synthesis and immobilized on porous silica particles by polymerization. The resulting material was composed of both hydrophobic alkyl ester chains and hydrophilic imidazoline rings, which gave it both hydrophilic interaction and reversed-phase characteristics. The titration curve suggests that the new material has buffering capacity and acquires increasing positive charge over the pH range 9-4, and is "zwitterionic" in the upper part of this pH range. Through investigating the effect of column temperature, the water content, pH and ion strength of mobile phase on the retention time of polar compounds in highly organic eluents, it was found that the new material could be used as a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) stationary phase which involved a complex retention process consisting of partitioning, surface adsorption and electrostatic interactions. In addition, the retention behavior of aromatic compounds in different mobile phase conditions was also studied, which showed the new material mainly exhibited a partitioning mechanism in the reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mode. The separation of six water-soluble vitamins and five aromatic compounds were achieved by using the new material in the HILIC and RPLC modes, respectively.
