Mobile phase effects on retention on a new butylimidazolium-based high-performance liquid chromatographic stationary
1Department of Chemistry, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
Abstract:
A new HPLC stationary phase based on n-butylimidazolium bromide has been characterized by a linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) approach in the binary acetonitrile/water mobile phases. The retention properties of the stationary phase were systematically evaluated in terms of intermolecular interactions between 28 test solutes and the stationary phase. The results and further comparisons with conventional reversed phase system confirm that retention properties are similar to phenyl phases in acetonitrile/water mixtures. The results obtained with acetonitrile/water mixtures are also compared with results obtained using methanol/water mixtures.
