Ionic liquids functionalized β-cyclodextrin polymer for separation/analysis of magnolol

Abstract:
Ionic liquids functionalized β-cyclodextrin polymer, a mono-6-deoxy-6-(1,2-dimethylimidazolium)-β-cyclodextrin iodide polymer (ILs-β-CDCP), was synthesized as a solid-phase adsorbent coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography for separating or analyzing magnolol in drug samples. The results showed that magnolol was adsorbed rapidly on ILs-β-CDCP and eluted with methanol. Under the optimum conditions, preconcentration factor of the proposed method was 12. The linear range, limit of detection (LOD), correlation coefficient (R) and relative standard deviation (RSD) were found to be 0.02-8.00 μg/mL, 1.9 ng/mL, 0.9992 and 2.76% (n=3, c=2.00 μg/mL), respectively. The interaction between ILs-β-CDCP and magnolol was studied through the inclusion constant, FTIR and TGA analysis. This proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of magnolol in real samples.

Ionic Bonds
When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.

Molecular and Ionic Solids
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
