| Abstract: | A method for the preparation of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone-co-pentaerythritol triacrylate copolymerization)-based monolithic capillary column was reported for the separation of polar small molecular weight compounds with nano-liquid chromatography in hydrophilic interaction chromatography mode. The monolithic columns were prepared by in situ copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone and a cross-linker pentaerythritol triacrylate in a binary porogenic agent consisting of methanol and water. The composition of the polymerization solution was systematically optimized in terms of column permeability, theoretical plate number, asymmetric factor, and retention factor. A typical hydrophilic chromatography retention mechanism was observed with a mobile phase composed of a high content of organic solvent. The preparation method is simple and robust, the precursor N-vinylpyrrolidone is chemically stable, cheap, and easily available. The N-vinylpyrrolidone-based hydrophilic interaction chromatography stationary phase displays satisfactory separation selectivity for a range of polar test analytes, including benzoic acid derivatives, nucleosides, and phenols. |
