Elution behavior of styrene oligomer fractions in supercritical fluid chromatography

Summary In supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), the elution behavior of styrene oligomers in pentane depends greatly on the degree of oligomerization, n. The influence of capacity ratio, k, on the lower oligomers up to about n=11 resembles the behavior of other substrates of low molecular weight, like aromatic hydrocarbons. Thus, with pentane of 100 bar and below, minima are found in plots of k versus temperature. In contrast, the k of oligomers of higher molecular weight (n>11) increase monotonously with increasing temperature. The studies were performed using oligostyrene fractions obtained by semipreparative SFC fractionation.     

A brief study of the supercritical fluid chromatographic behavior of lanthanide β-diketonates

The chromatographic behaviors of lanthanide chelates of acetylacetone (ACAC), trifluoroacetylacetone (TFA), thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA), dipivaloylmethane (THD), 6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedione (FOD), and the thenoyltrifluoroacetonepyridine (TTA·Py) adduct were investigated using packed column supercritical fluid chromatography. Mobile phases consisting of neat and alcohol modified CO₂ were used with a phenyl packed stationary phase. Lanthanide complexes of ACAC, THD, and FOD were shown to have better chromatographic performance compared to the corresponding chelates with TFA, TTA, and TTA·Py. In particular, TTA complexes such as Eu(TTA)₃ showed characteristic thermal decomposition in the mobile phase at elevated temperature. In addition, retention behavior was found to be a temperature dependent function of volatility and solubility for all chelates studied.     

Ozone-based sulfur chemiluminescence detection: Its applicability to gas,supercritical fluid,and high performance liquid chromatography

The sensitive detection of sulfur-containing analytes is of interest in many industrial applications; selective detection is also desirable since these compounds are usually present at trace levels in difficult matrixes. The purpose of this article is to review the use of the Sievers® ozone-based sulfur chemiluminescence detector, and its coupling with gas chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography. Detection limits, linearity, response factors, and selectivity are discussed for each of these techniques. Critical operational parameters for the SCD are also described. The use of other sulfur selective detectors for SFC and HPLC is also briefly summarized.     

Packed capillary column supercritical fluid chromatography of fat-soluble vitamins using liquid crystal polysiloxane coated particles

Summary Liquid crystal polysiloxane stationary phases were prepared by coating two different polymers on deactivated porous silica particles (10 m diameter, 80 Å pores). Deactivation of the silica particles before coating was necessary to prepare highly efficient and inert stationary phases for supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Fat-soluble vitamins E, A, K₁, K₂, D₂, and D₃ were separated on these columns using neat supercritical CO₂ as mobile phase. The analyses were completed within 40 min at 70 °C. The results were compared to those obtained using a capillary column packed with less ordered liquid crystalm,m-cyanobiphenyl-substituted polysiloxane coated particles. Reduced shape selectivity was observed with this cyanobiphenyl phase. The response factors of vitamins A, E, K₁, K₂, D₂, and D₃ when using the flame ionization detector (FID) were determined to be very similar.     

Synthesis of α, ω perfluoropolyether iodides

Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) diacyl halides of formula XCOCF₂O[(CF₂O)_n(CF₂CF₂O)_m]_pCF₂COX, with X = Cl, F and molecular weight (MW) 400-4000 g mol⁻¹ are smoothly converted in high yields to the corresponding α, ω diiodides in the absence of solvent, employing KI or LiI at 210 °C with extrusion of CO. During the reactions, β-elimination of COF₂ from the terminal difluoromethylene oxide units (CF₂O, C₁ unit) occurs to some extent until a tetrafluoroethylene oxide unit (OCF₂CF₂, C₂ unit) is encountered yielding a OCF₂CF₂I terminus. This considerably alters the MW distribution of the final diiodide especially for low MW PFPEs. Operating in supercritical conditions of CO (scCO) or both scCO and CO₂ (scCO₂) on low (<600 g mol⁻¹) MW diacyl halides, lowers β-elimination from 95 to 52 mol% if KI is used or from 43 to 30 mol% if LiI is used. With higher MW (>600 g mol⁻¹) β-elimination is lowered from 15 to <1 mol% in scCO conditions employing KI.     

Qualitative supercritical fluid extraction coupled to capillary gas chromatography

The usefulness and ease of utilizing supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) directly coupled to capillary gas chromatography (GC) as quantitative or qualitative analytical problem-solving tools will be demonstrated. As an alternative to conventional liquid solvent extractions, SFE presents itself as a means to achieve high extraction efficiencies of different compounds in complex solid matrices in very rapid tims frames. Moreover, SFE has an additional advantage of being able to achieve distinct extraction selectivities as a function of the solubilizing power of the supercritical fluid extracting phase. For on-line SFE/GC, the extraction effluent is directly transferred to the analytical chromatograph. On-line SFE/GC involves the decompression of pressurized extraction effluent directly into a heated, unmodified capillary split injection port of the GC. In this respect, SFE introduction into GC can be used as an alternative means of GC injection, comparable to such modes of injection as pyrolysis and thermal desorption. This paper will show applications of SFE/GC where mass spectrometric detection together with flame ionization detection was used for component identification from environmental, tobacco, and petroleum matrices.     

Comparison by capillary SFC and SFC-MS of soxhlet and supercritical fluid extraction of hamster feces

Components of hamster feces ranging from low molecular weight fatty acids through the expected range of triglycerides have been eluted in a single SFC run with simultaneous pressure and temperature programming. Temperature programming from 140°C to 240°C was required to provide optimum conditions for separation of the fatty acids and to move the elution region of the sterol esters away from that of the triglycerides. Data from chemical ionization and electron impact mass spectrometry of compounds separated by SFC were used to confirm identities suggested by retention measurements and to provide tentative identities of unknown compounds. SFC with flame ionization detection was used to compare Soxhlet extraction, off-line supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and on-line SFE of the feces. Although samples obtained by Soxhlet extraction and SFE produced very similar chromatograms, SFE required far less time and consumed much smaller quantities of organic solvent.     

Elution of Cationic Species with/without Ion Pair Reagents from Polar Stationary Phases via SFC

Traditionally, the application of supercritical fluid chromatography has been limited to compounds of relatively low polarity. Thus, we report here that one secondary amine and two quaternary amine salts were successfully eluted from a Deltabond Cyano-bonded silica column with the addition of sodium alkylsulfonate to the methanol-modified, carbon dioxide-based mobile phase. A possible ion-pairing interaction between the positively charged analytes and the anionic part of the sulfonate additive has been proposed. In another set of experiments, the three amine salts readily eluted from both Ethyl-pyridine-bonded silica and Amino-bonded silica phases without the need of additive although the peak shapes were less than desirable. The addition of sulfonate salt to the mobile phase again sharpened the peaks. In the presence of a mixture of methanol and CO₂, we suggest that these stationary phases are positively charged. We describe here also for the first time the employment of a strong silica-based anion exchange (SAX) column for supercritical fluid separation of cationic species. Two elution mechanisms were proposed for the three amine salts depending upon whether the ionic additive was incorporated into the mobile phase. Separation as the ion-pair was proposed with an ionic additive in the mobile phase; whereas separation of the intact amine salt from the positively charged basic stationary phases was suggested to be operational without the ionic additive.     

The dependence of sorbent/analyte type on observed differences in supercritical fluid extraction efficiencies employing extraction vessels of different dimensions

Summary The effect of extraction cell dimensions (i.d.: length) on supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) efficiencies of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is shown to be dependent on the type of sorbent used. For octadecylsilane (C18) sorbents, there is a significant increase in observed SFE recoveries of PCBs when the cell dimensions are made more broad (increased i.d.: length); whereas, no effect of cell geometry is observed when the common adsorbent, Florisil, is utilized. Additionally, recoveries decreased in proportion to the chlorine number, for the PCBs studied, for octadecylsilane sorbents, while no such effect was observed for Florisil. These results illustrate the magnitude of the matrix effect in SFE, which generally dominated observed recoveries, even in the simplest analyte/sorbent systems such as the one studied here.
