New methacrylate-ester monoliths with quaternary ammonium groups show repeatable chromatographic performance in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). These materials offer good retention and efficiency, similar to C18 silica, with high electro-osmotic flow.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) is a powerful separation technique.
  • Development of novel monolithic stationary phases is crucial for advancing CEC.
  • Methacrylate-ester-based monoliths offer tunable properties for chromatographic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize methacrylate-ester-based monoliths with quaternary ammonium groups for CEC.
  • To evaluate the chromatographic performance and morphological properties of these monoliths.
  • To assess the repeatability and stability of the monolithic columns.

Main Methods:

  • In situ preparation of methacrylate-ester monoliths in capillary columns using thermal initiation.

  • Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) for determining chromatographic properties.
  • Mercury-intrusion porosimetry for studying bulk material morphology.
  • Evaluation of electro-osmotic mobility, retention (k-values), and column efficiency.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully prepared methacrylate-ester monoliths with quaternary ammonium groups and repeatable pore-size distributions.
    • Achieved satisfactory column-to-column and run-to-run repeatability for electro-osmotic mobility, retention, and efficiency in CEC mode.
    • Observed relatively high electro-osmotic flow in the positive electrode direction, minimally affected by mobile phase parameters.
    • Demonstrated retention behavior comparable to C18-modified silica particles.
    • Reported optimum plate heights suitable for various analytes, though some unexplained lower efficiencies were noted for specific compounds.

    Conclusions:

    • Methacrylate-ester-based monoliths with quaternary ammonium groups are promising materials for CEC applications.
    • These monoliths exhibit excellent repeatability and chromatographic performance, comparable to established stationary phases.
    • Further investigation is needed to understand the cause of lower column efficiency observed for specific analytes.
