Abstract:
The retention behavior on poly(oxyethylene) (POE) chemically-bonded stationary phases was investigated in ion-exchange, reversed-phase (RP) and hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) modes in capillary liquid chromatography. The eluent cations fixed on the oxygen atoms of the POE chains by ion-dipole interaction worked as the anion-exchange sites for the separation of inorganic anions. Nonpolar analytes were retained on the POE stationary phases in the RP mode, while polar organic analytes were retained in the HILIC mode. Sodium alkyl sulfate dynamically modified on the stationary phase enhanced the hydrophobic property of the stationary phase. The effect of the oxyethylene unit number on the retention behavior was examined, and it was expected that the eluent cation is trapped among multiple POE chains by ion-dipole interaction.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
