Abstract
C18-modified bipyridinium-functionalized silica was prepared and further modified with tetras(4-sulfonatophenyl)styrene (TPE-SO3H) via ion bonding. Thus, two novel stationary phases, including C18-modified bipyridinium stationary phase (Sil-DPC18) and TPE-SO3H-functionalized C18-modified bipyridinium stationary phase (Sil-DPC18-TPES) were obtained. The stationary phases were characterized by elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The reversed-phase chromatographic performance of Sil-DPC18 and Sil-DPC18-TPES were evaluated using the Tanaka test mixture, alkylbenzenes, and linear polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Compared to an in-house Sil-C18, Sil-DPC18-TPES and Sil-DPC18 exhibited stronger aromatic selectivity and shape selectivity, but weaker hydrophobicity and hydrophobic selectivity. Furthermore, Sil-DPC18-TPES demonstrated better hydrophobicity, hydrophobic selectivity, aromatic selectivity and shape selectivity compared to Sil-DPC18. The enhancement could be due to the introduction of TPE-SO3H. In addition, Sil-DPC18-TPES and Sil-DPC18 exhibited good separation selectivity for PAHs, phenylesters, phenols, and phenylamines compared to Sil-C18.
期刊介绍:
Separation sciences, in all their various forms such as chromatography, field-flow fractionation, and electrophoresis, provide some of the most powerful techniques in analytical chemistry and are applied within a number of important application areas, including archaeology, biotechnology, clinical, environmental, food, medical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, polymer and biopolymer research. Beyond serving analytical purposes, separation techniques are also used for preparative and process-scale applications. The scope and power of separation sciences is significantly extended by combination with spectroscopic detection methods (e.g., laser-based approaches, nuclear-magnetic resonance, Raman, chemiluminescence) and particularly, mass spectrometry, to create hyphenated techniques. In addition to exciting new developments in chromatography, such as ultra high-pressure systems, multidimensional separations, and high-temperature approaches, there have also been great advances in hybrid methods combining chromatography and electro-based separations, especially on the micro- and nanoscale. Integrated biological procedures (e.g., enzymatic, immunological, receptor-based assays) can also be part of the overall analytical process.
