Abstract:

In this work, octadecyl-modified silica chromatographic stationary phases with amide and imidazole-based ionic liquid bipolar groups co-embedded were prepared by stepwise bonding and two stationary phases with different anionic coordinations(Sil-IL-AMC18-Cl and Sil-IL-AMC18-Tf2N) were prepared by ion-exchange, which were characterized by means of infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Both stationary phases showed C=C stretching vibration peaks and C=N bending vibration peaks on the imidazole ring at 1460 and 661 cm‒1, and asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibration peaks of ─CH at 2927 and 2856 cm‒1, which proved the bonding of amino-imidazole ionic liquid. And the original 919 cm‒1 of primary amine N─H out-of-plane deformation vibration peak disappeared, indicating that octadecanoyl chloride is bonded with amino. The results of elemental analysis showed that Sil-IL-AMC18-Cl contained 3.07% of nitrogen, 16.73% of carbon and 3.07% of hydrogen, and Sil-IL-AMC18-Tf2N contained 2.88% of nitrogen, 15.98% of carbon and 2.95% of hydrogen, which indicated that Sil-IL-AMC18-Cl and Sil-IL-AMC18-Tf2N chromatographic stationary phases were prepared. The chromatographic separation modes and performance of Sil-IL-AMC18-Cl and Sil-IL-AMC18-Tf2N stationary phases were investigated, and the results showed that: (1) the two stationary phases had higher column efficiency than commercial C18 columns in the reversed-phase chromatographic mode(RPLC); (2) since the stationary phase has a bipolar group, it has a stronger hydrophilic ability compared to the traditional hydrophilic modified C18 silica stationary phase, and thus hydrophilic chromatographic mode(HILIC) can be realized; (3) simultaneous separation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances in mixed reversed-phase/hydrophilic(RPLC/HILIC) chromatographic mode. It was found that Sil-IL-AMC18-Cl stationary phase had stronger hydrophilic properties compared to Sil-IL-AMC18-Tf2N stationary phase, so in the HILIC chromatographic mode Sil-IL-AMC18-Cl stationary phase was used for the separation of 8 base nucleosides, which could realize the baseline separation of this kind of strong hydrophilic substances, and the RSD of the injection repeatability was 0.03%—0.25%(n=9); in the RPLC chromatographic mode, Sil-IL-AMC18-Tf2N stationary phase was used for the separation of 6 anilines, which not only could realize the baseline separation, but also improved the peak trailing problem of anilines, and the RSD of the injection repeatability was 0.05%—0.10%(n=9).
