title: Separation and selectivity of benzophenones in micellar electrokinetic chromatography using sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles or sodium cholate modified mixed micelles.
abstract: The separation and selectivity of nine benzophenones in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles or sodium cholate (SC) modified mixed micelles were investigated in the pH range 6.5-8.0. The results indicate that the combined effects of buffer pH and SC concentration can greatly affect the separation and selectivity of benzophenones, particularly for benzophenones possessing a hydroxyl substituent at the 4-position of the aromatic ring with respect to the carbonyl moiety when using SDS-SC mixed micelles. Better separability can be obtained with SDS-SC mixed micelles than with SDS micelles. Complete separation of nine benzophenones in MEKC can be achieved with an appropriate choice of buffer pH and the concentration of SDS micelles or SC modified mixed micelles. The dependence of the migration order of those benzophenones based on their structures and solute-micelle interactions is discussed.
