Relationship between retention and molecular structure of pyrimidine bases

Summary The influence of the type and position of CH₃, NH₂ and OH groups in the pyrimidine ring, the eluent composition and the surface chemistry of the stationary phase on the retention of pyrimidine bases in reversed-phase liquid chromatography was investigated. On the basis of the hypothesis about the additivity of the adsorption energy the contribution of various structural groups on retention has been established.

Adsorption isotherms of nonionic surfactants in SBA-15 measured by micro-column chromatography

In this work, micro-column liquid chromatography has been employed for the study of the adsorption of ethylene glucol monoether (C8E4) and pentaethylene glucol monoether (C10E5) nonionic surfactants into the nanopores of SBA-15 silica at two temperatures. The adsorption process for both the surfactants has been investigated in the range of concentration from very dilute solution to "just above" critical micelle concentration (CMC). The adsorption data for both the surfactants are characterized as typical LC-shaped isotherms with plateau near the CMC. A simple two-step adsorption model has been applied to represent an experimental data. An attempt to estimate the thickness of the surfactant layer in the pores, from the experimental data, has been made.     

Study of adsorption from solutions by frontal chromatography

Summary The automatic frontal chromatography installation was described. By this chromatographic method the adsorption isotherm of benzene from n-heptane solutions on hydroxylated surface of silica with various porosity has been determined. This investigation was performed at different flow rates of eluent and in a wide range of concentrations. The isotherm of adsorption obtained by this chromatographic method has been compared with the results of the static measurements. The coincidence of adsorption isotherms measured at the various flow rates are shown to be a criterion of proximity the chromatographic process to the equilibrium.     

Liquid chromatographic behaviour of pyrimidine bases on various bonded phases

Summary The effect of the surface chemistry of bonded-phase column material containing alkyl, phenyl, cyano and amino groups on the adsorption of pyrimidine molecules has been studied by HPLC. The dependence of the retention on the chemical structure of the adsorbed molecules was determined. The influence of the substituents at the pyrimidine ring and their position on the retention character is shown for various bonded phases.     

Liquid chromatography of dextrans on porous silica beds

Kinetics, equilibrium isotherms and chromatography retention times for sorption of dextrans T-10, T-20, T-40, T-70, T-110, T-161, T-250 and T-500 on porous silica were measured at 25 degrees C. The Henry constant and retention factors for the dextrans were obtained. The values of the partition coefficient for the distribution of the dextrans between the bulk solution and the pore space were calculated within the framework of a pore volume filling model with consideration given to the ratio between the sizes of the macromolecular coils and the pore inlet. The measurements showed that this parameter depends on the structure of the sorbent and the molecular mass distribution of the dextran. The interaction of aqueous dextran solution with porous silica is characterized by the sieve effect. Large macromolecular coils of dextran T-161 cannot penetrate into the pore space of the silica sorbent with pore diameter 14 nm. The difference in Henry law constants calculated from adsorption and chromatographic data for dextrans T-70 and T-110 can be explained by the slow diffusion of dextran macromolecules into silica pores under chromatographic conditions.
