Abstract

Polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer functionalized with copper-iminodiacetate complex was prepared in situ for the capillary electrochromatographic separation of amino acids and oligopeptides. The steps included silanization of the fused-silica capillary column, functionalization, polymerization, hydrolysis and complexation. For having a homogeneous polymerization system in the selected porogen, the functional monomer was obtained from the reaction of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride and diethyl iminodiacetate. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the polymeric monolith column was an open tubular column with a thickness of 0.3 microm. Various modes of hydrolysis were investigated via the electroosmatic flow measurement to find the optimization condition prior to introducing the copper ion. The influence of pH, composition and concentration of mobile phase as well as the organic modifier were investigated. Judging from our results, the recognition performance of the prepared stationary phase might be integrated from the mechanisms of ligand exchange, electrophoretic mobility, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bonding.

Recent progress in the use of ionic polymers as pseudostationary phases for EKC.

This review concerns the introduction, characterization, and application of polymeric pseudostationary phases (PSPs) for EKC since 2004. Achiral and chiral polymers and separations are reviewed, as is the application of polymeric PSPs for the combination of EKC with mass spectrometric detection.

MEKC: an update focusing on practical aspects.

This paper reviews recent methodological and instrumental advances in MEKC. Improvements in sensitivity arising from the use of on-line sample concentration (sweeping, stacking, and combination of both protocols) and derivatization (in-capillary reactions and coupling with flow-injection systems) and improvements in resolution obtained by changing the composition of the BGE (e.g., with organic modifiers, ionic liquids, nonionic and zwitterionic surfactants, mixed micelles, and vesicles) or using coated capillaries are discussed in detail. In addition, MS and LIF spectroscopy are examined in relation to their advantages and restrictions as applied to MEKC analysis. Some thoughts on potential future directions are also expressed.

Comparison of migration models for acidic solutes in micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

The validity of two models that explain the migration of ionisable solutes in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), mobility model and retention factor model, has been tested. For this purpose, the mobility (mu) and retention factor (k) of a set of 10 phenolic compounds with different hydrophobicity and pKa values have been determined for several sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) concentrations and pH values, and fitted to the models. Results show that in general the retention factor model explains better the retention of ionisable solutes, although for hydrophilic compounds at low SDS concentration, mobility model can give better fits. The different drawbacks pointed out by several authors in relation to both models have been checked, and a deep evaluation of each one has been done. As a result we have observed that, while in the retention factor model the variation of k with pH and [SDS] always follows the same trend, the variation of mu with these variables mainly depends on the value of the binding constant of the neutral form of the solutes to the micelles, KHA(m), which plays a critical role in the fit of the mobility model. Also we provide rules and advices to set up the experimental conditions to apply each model to a particular solute.
