The resins were obtained by the sequential covalent attachment of branched polyethylenimine and polyelectrolytes synthesized from diepoxide and a secondary amine on the surface of epoxidized polystyrene–divinylbenzene. To increase the shielding degree of the polymer substrate, an additional polymerization of glycidol was carried out in the functional layer of the sorbent at an increased pH of the reaction medium. The synthesized phases possessed increased hydrophilicity compared to most resins based on a styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer with covalently attached layers. This was evidenced in the ion chromatography mode by a decrease in the relative retention of polarizable anions, weakly hydrated oxyhalides (up to a change in the elution order of the bromate), and haloacetic acids. In the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography mode, an increased hydrophilicity of the phases was confirmed by an increase in the retention factors of polar analytes, as well as by the reversal of the elution order of ascorbic and nicotinic acids as compared to the phases based on polystyrene–divinylbenzene presented in the literature. The low efficiency of the obtained stationary phases in the ion chromatography mode was noted, which is associated with slow mass transfer in the bulk polymer functional layer. The negative impact of the polymer layer on efficiency in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography is less pronounced due to the presumably smaller thickness of the part of the functional layer involved in this mode. The proposed method for the synthesis of resins ensures an increase in the efficiency, selectivity, and separation ability of sorbents in the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography mode as compared to phases based on a styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer described previously in the literature. The resulting highly hydrophilic resins makes it possible to separate a mixture of 9 nitrogenous bases and nucleosides in 18 min, 6 vitamins in 24 min, and 8 sugars in 11 min. Thus, the method of substrate hydrophilization proposed in this work is promising for improving the chromatographic characteristics of phases in the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography mode and can be used to create sorbents with increased selectivity and efficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":606,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Analytical Chemistry","volume":"79 9","pages":"1269 - 1276"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1134/S106193482470062X.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dissociation constant of the reagent was determined by potentiometry in an aqueous–ethanolic medium, yielding p<i>K</i> = 9.66 ± 0.02. The interaction of iron(III) with 2-(((1-(3-bromophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazono)methyl)phenol in the presence and absence of diantipyrylmethane (DAM), diantipyrylphenylmethane (DAPhM), and diantipyrylpropylmethane (DAPrM) has been thoroughly studied. Optimal conditions for complex formation (λ_opt, pH_opt) were found. Iron(III) forms colored mixed-ligand complexes with the reagent in the presence of the third component—DAM, DAPhM, or DAPrM,—resulting in a hypsochromic shift in the absorption spectrum. The maximum yield of complexes was achieved in a more acidic medium compared to the binary complex. Molar absorption coefficients of the complexes and the ranges of compliance with Beer’s law were determined. Component ratios in the homogeneous and mixed-ligand complexes were established using isomolar series methods, as well as the relative yield of the Starik–Barbanel and equilibrium shift methods. These analyses revealed that the component ratio of Fe(III)–R in the binary complex is 1 : 2, while in the mixed-ligand complexes Fe(III)–R–DAM, Fe(III)–R–DAPhM, and Fe(III)–R–DAPrM, the ratios are 1 : 2 : 1, 1 : 1 : 1, and 1 : 1 : 2, respectively.
