A monolithic stationary phase was prepared by in situ copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), and methacrylic acid (MAA), in a binary porogenic solvent consisting of toluene and 1-dodecanol. The resulting monolith was evaluated as a hydrophilic interaction-capillary electrochromatography (HI-CEC) stationary phase under the mode of pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC). Effects of the buffer pH, salt concentration and the mobile phase composition on the electroosmotic flow (EOF) velocity and the retention factors of the compounds were investigated. The generation of cathodic EOF under a broad pH range was attributed to the presence of the carboxyl groups on the surface of the polar stationary phase. The carboxyl groups offered at the same time the possibility of weak electrostatic interaction with analytes. The separation mechanism of the monolithic column was discussed in detail. It was found that the separation mechanism of charged solutes could be attributed to a mixed mode of HI and weak electrostatic interaction, as well as the effect of electrophoresis, while the separation of neutral solutes was based on the hydrophilic interaction at high acetonitrile (ACN) content.
通过在由甲苯和1-十二醇组成的二元致孔溶剂中,使甲基丙烯酸2-羟乙酯(HEMA)、二甲基丙烯酸乙烯酯(EDMA)和甲基丙烯酸(MAA)原位共聚,制备了整体固定相。在加压毛细管电色谱(pCEC)模式下,将所得整体柱作为亲水作用毛细管电色谱(HI-CEC)固定相进行评价。研究了缓冲液pH值、盐浓度和流动相组成对电渗流(EOF)速度和化合物保留因子的影响。在较宽的pH范围内产生阴极电渗流归因于极性固定相表面羧基的存在。羧基同时提供了与分析物发生弱静电相互作用的可能性。详细讨论了整体柱的分离机理。发现带电溶质的分离机理可归因于亲水作用和弱静电相互作用的混合模式以及电泳效应,而中性溶质的分离基于高乙腈(ACN)含量下的亲水相互作用。
