Abstract:
Unbonded silicon oxynitride and silica high-performance liquid chromatography stationary phases have been evaluated and compared for the separation of basic compounds of differing molecular weight, pKa , and log D using aqueous/organic mobile phases. The influences of percentage of organic modifier, buffer pH, and concentration in the mobile phase on base retention were investigated on unbonded silicon oxynitride and silica phases. The results confirmed that unbonded silicon oxynitride and silica phases demonstrated excellent separation performance for model basic compounds and both the unbonded phases examined possessed a hydrophobic/adsorption and ion-exchange character. The silicon oxynitride stationary phase exhibited high hydrophilicity compared with silica with a reversed-phase mobile phase. An ion-exclusion-type mechanism becomes predominant for the separation of three aimed bases on the silicon oxynitride column at pH 2.8. Different from silicon oxynitride stationary phase, no obvious change for the retention time of three model bases on silica stationary phase at pH 2.8 can be observed.
