Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science
  • Chromatography

Background:

  • Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) offers unique separation capabilities by combining electroosmotic flow (EOF) and chromatographic principles.
  • Developing stationary phases with tunable properties is crucial for enhancing CEC separation selectivity and efficiency.
  • Zwitterionic stationary phases, possessing both positive and negative charges, can significantly influence EOF and analyte interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a novel monolithic capillary column with zwitterionic stationary phases for CEC applications.
  • To investigate the effect of mobile phase pH on the ionization of zwitterionic functional groups and its impact on EOF.
  • To evaluate the separation performance of the developed column for various hydrophobic and polar analytes.

Main Methods:

  • In situ polymerization of butyl methacrylate, ethylene dimethacrylate, methacrylic acid, and 2-(dimethyl amino) ethyl methacrylate to create a zwitterionic monolithic stationary phase.
  • Preparation of the monolithic column within a capillary for CEC experiments.
  • Optimization of mobile phase pH to control the ionization of zwitterionic groups and manipulate EOF characteristics.
  • Separation of alkylbenzenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, anilines, and peptides using the developed CEC column.

Main Results:

  • Successful preparation of a CEC monolithic column with zwitterionic stationary phases exhibiting both tertiary amine and acrylic acid groups.
  • Demonstrated pH-dependent control over the ionization of functional groups, leading to adjustable strength and direction of EOF (anodic and cathodic).
  • Achieved effective separations of hydrophobic compounds (alkylbenzenes, PAHs) via a hydrophobic mechanism.
  • Obtained distinct separation selectivities for polar compounds (phenols, anilines, peptides) by manipulating mobile phase pH and consequently EOF.

Conclusions:

  • The developed zwitterionic monolithic CEC column provides a versatile platform for separating diverse analytes.
  • The pH-tunable EOF offers a powerful mechanism for controlling separation selectivity in CEC.
  • This approach holds promise for advanced analytical separations of complex mixtures.
