title: Influences of surface chemistry on the separation behavior of stationary phases for reversed-phase and ion-exchange chromatography: a comparison of coated and grafted supports prepared by ring-opening metathesis polymerization.
abstract: A series of poly(norborn-2-ene) (poly-NBE), poly(7-oxanorborne-2-ene-5,6-dicarboxylic acid) (poly-ONDCA), as well as poly(norborn-2-ene-co-7-oxanorborne-2-ene-5,6-dicarboxylic acid) (poly-NBE-co-ONDCA) based silica supports were prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using both coating and grafting techniques. Poly-NBE-grafted and poly-NBE-coated supports were used for the reversed-phase separation of phenols; poly-NBE, poly-ONDCA as well as poly-NBE-co-ONDCA-grafted supports were used for comparative studies on the separation of a series of anilines and lutidines. As expected, grafted supports possess superior separation capabilities compared to their coated analogues. Compared to pure poly-NBE- and poly-ONDCA-grafted stationary phases, supports consisting of poly-NBE-co-ONDCA block-copolymers possess both hydrophobic and ion-exchange sites and represent optimum stationary phases for the separation of isomeric basic analytes.
