Abstract:
A new method for the separation and analysis of vitamin B2 and its fluorescent photolysis products was established based on pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) coupled with laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection.The relationship between the photolysis reaction rate of vitamin B2 and the ionic strength of aqueous solution or phosphate buffered solution was studied.The analysis was carried out by using a C18 capillary column.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water with 0.1%(v/v) trifluoroacetic acid with gradient elution.The excitation wavelength was 488 nm and the emission wavelength was 520 nm.Vitamin B2 and many fluorescent photolysis products were well separated.Based on the above, the influence of photo degradation rate of vitamin B2 with ionic strength was studied.The apparent rate constant of photolysis was calculated by kinetic calculation.The results showed that the ionic strength had a significant effect on the photolysis of vitamin B2 solution.The photolysis rate of vitamin B2 was positively related to the ionic strength.This study provides a highly efficient method for the stability research of vitamin B2, which may serve as a good reference for the preservation and clinical use of it.

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...
