Abstract:

A monolithic stationary phase was prepared in a single step by in situ copolymerization of iso-butyl methacrylate (IBMA), ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), and N,N-dimethylallylamine (DMAA) in a binary porogenic solvent consisting of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and 1,4-butanediol. As the frame structures of monoliths, the amino groups are linked to support the EOF necessary for driving the mobile phase through the monolithic capillary, while the hydrophobic groups are introduced to provide the nonpolar sites for the chromatographic retention. To evaluate the column performance, separations of typical kinds of neutral or charged homologs, such as alkylbenzenes, phenols (including isomeric compounds of hydroquinone, resorcin, and catechol), and anilines (including isomeric compounds of o-phenylenediamine and 1,4-phenylenediamine), were performed, respectively on the prepared column under the mode of pressurized pCEC. Effects of the buffer pH and the mobile phase composition on the linear velocity of mobile phase and the retention factors of these compounds were investigated. It was found that the retention mechanism of charged solutes could be attributed to a mixed mode of hydrophobic interaction and electrophoresis, while an RP chromatographic behavior on the monolithic stationary phases was exhibited for neutral solutes. Especially, basic compounds such as anilines were well separated on the monolithic columns in the "counterdirectional mode," which effectively eliminated the electrostatic adsorption of basic analytes on the charged surface of the stationary phases.
