Characterization of Calixarene/Ionic Liquid Mixture as Gas Chromatographic Stationary Phase through Thermodynamic Parameters and LSER

Abstract

A mixture of 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26, 27, 28-tetraethoxycarbonylmethyloxy calix[4]arene (C[4] TECM) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid (O m I m ? BF 4 -) has been employed as stationary phases in capillary gas chromatography. Its properties have been characterized through thermodynamic parameters and linear solvation energy relationship. The experimental results showed that C[4]TECM-O m I m ? BF 4 -mixture as gas chromatographic stationary phase has high column efficiency and peak symmetry, which were evaluated using naphthalene and n-octanol, respectively. It was demonstrated that the interaction forces between the probe molecules and the stationary phase did not change over the entire temperature range studied due to an excellent linear relationship between lnk and 1/T, the retentions of the probe molecules on the C[4]TECM-O m I m ? BF 4 -stationary phase are enthalpy-driven processes, and the interactions of the probe molecules with C[4]TECM-O m I m ? BF 4 -stationary phase mainly include hydrogen bonding interaction, dipole-dipole interaction and dispersive interaction. However, the contribution of each interaction is in the order of A [ L [ S for the C[4]TECM-O m I m ? BF 4 -stationary phase.

Ionic Liquids in Analytical Chemistry: Fundamentals, Advances, and Perspectives

“…ILs have also been applied as a medium for the dispersion of macromolecules, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, and CNTs, to yield stationary phases with unique selectivities and thermal stabilities. For chiral separations, the stationary phases consists of chiral ILs or dispersions of the chiral selectors in the bulk IL. , Recently, Zhao and co-workers reported the dispersion of CNTs in a chiral IL as a GC stationary phase .…”

Continuum in MDGC Technology: From Classical Multidimensional to Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography

“…The column i unretained solute time as a function of temperature is denoted by i t M ( T ). Temperature-dependent retention behavior is normally simulated by using 2–4 thermodynamic parameters varying for each set of analyte and column. , Although these approaches are effective, there is a need to have experimental 1DGC retention data for all the analytes that are to be simulated. It is also difficult to access all analytes as pure standards to be separated, as well as lack of database parameters for these.…”

Capillary Gas Chromatographic Separation Performances of a Tetraphenyl Porphyrin Stationary Phase

“…The thickness of NaCl-TPP coating from the different segments were about 0.7–0.8 µm respectively attesting the thickness uniformity of the entire length of the column. Furthermore, the TPP layer thickness was about 0.16 µm calculated by the empirical formula, df=(dc/c)/400, where dc is the capillary inner diameter(mm) and c is the concentration of the stationary phase(%,w/v) ( Shi et al, 2012 ; Shi et al, 2013 ).…”
