Molar mass distributions by gradient liquid chromatography: predicting and tailoring selectivity

Interactive liquid chromatography (iLC) for polymer analysis is usually applied to the characterisation of distributions other than molar mass. In particular, its use for the determination of chemical-composition, functionality-type and tacticity distributions has been demonstrated. The application of iLC for the determination of molar mass distributions (MMDs), however, has not yet been fully explored. An expanded version of the reversed-phase liquid chromatography model has been developed to describe and predict how the retention behaviour of polydisperse polystyrene samples changes with molar mass. The relationship between molar mass and the parameters of the model has been investigated in some detail and non-linear correlations were found. From the model and the relationships between the model parameters and molar mass, calibration curves (retention time versus molar mass) were constructed to predict changes in chromatographic selectivity across a given molar mass range. These calibration curves were compared to experimentally obtained curves and, in most cases, excellent agreement was found. The dramatic enhancement in selectivity that can be obtained with iLC in comparison to size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) was illustrated by measuring matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation (MALDI) MS spectra of fractions collected during a gradient-LC separation. In the low-molar mass range, essentially monodisperse fractions were obtained. Calibration curves, predicted by the model and validated experimentally using narrow-dispersity standards and MALDI-MS spectra of fractions, were used to determine the molar mass distribution of some narrowly distributed polystyrene samples. Molar mass distributions for such standards were found to be somewhat lower than the values reported by the manufacturers. The results also deviated from those obtained by MALDI-MS.

Mass spectrometric study of thermal stability of copper(II) bis(dipivaloylmethanate) vapour

The processes of thermal destruction of copper(II) bis(dipivaloylmethanate) (Cu(dpm)₂) in the temperature range 150°–550°C were studied by using a two-temperature variant of a double chamber Knudsen cell, with mass spectrometric recording of the gas-phase composition. The temperature range of stability of the vapour of the complex in vacuum was determined, as were those of its mixtures with oxygen in different proportions. The temperature dependence of the rate constant of the thermolysis of (Cu(dpm)₂) vapour was obtained. The thermal stability of Hdpm vapour and the influence of oxygen on the thermolysis of the ligand were studied.

Zusammenfassung Unter Verwendung einer Zweitemperaturenvariante der Knudsenschen Doppelkammerzelle wurde mittels MS-Untersuchung der Gasphasenzusammensetzung im Temperaturbereich 150°–550°C der thermische Abbau von Kupfer(II)-bis(dipivaloylmethanat) (Cu(dpm)₂) untersucht. Es wurde der Temperaturbereich für die Stabilität der gasförmigen Komplexe in Vakuum sowie in Gemischen mit Sauerstoff in verschiedenen Verhältnissen bestimmt. Dabei wurde die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Geschwindigkeitskonstante für die Thermolyse von Cu(dpm)₂ ermittelt. Weiterhin wurde die thermische Stabilität von Hdpm-Dampf sowie der Einfluß von Sauerstoff auf die Thermolyse der Liganden bestimmt.

     

Tandem GC/MS: A useful tool for studying end-capping reactions of oligo(styryl)lithium anions

Anionic living polymerization methods, using organometallic initiators such as butyllithium reagents, have proven useful for, inter alia, styrene polymerization and are amenable to subsequent functionalization of poly(styryl)lithium in the termination step. In this study, general methods for the selective preparation of small styrene oligomers and termination of the intermediate oligo(styryl)lithium anions were investigated. The crude reaction mixtures were analyzed directly by tandem gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Of the carbon- and silicon-based electrophiles tested, chloro(chloroalkyl)silanes, Cl-SiR₂(CH₂)_nCl in particular, were shown by GC/MS to be regioselective end-capping reagents, thus allowing subsequent transformation to the primary amine. The combined GC/MS data allow not only an estimate of the degree of functionalization, but also the identification of by-products, thus providing insight into the end-capping process that otherwise might be difficult to access. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
