Insights into the retention mechanism of neutral organic compounds on polar chemically bonded stationary phases in reversed-phase liquid chromatography.
The solvation parameter model is used to characterize the retention properties of a 3-aminopropylsiloxane-bonded (Alltima amino), three 3-cyanopropylsiloxane-bonded (Ultrasphere CN, Ultremex-CN and Zorbax SB-CN), a spacer bonded propanediol (LiChrospher DIOL) and a multifunctional macrocyclic glycopeptide (Chirobiotic T) silica-based stationary phases with mobile phases containing 10 and 20% (v/v) methanol-water. The low retention on the polar chemically bonded stationary phases compared with alkylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phases arises from the higher cohesion of the polar chemically bonded phases and an unfavorable phase ratio. The solvated polar chemically bonded stationary phases are considerably more hydrogen-bond acidic and dipolar/polarizable than solvated alkylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phases. Selectivity differences are not as great among the polar chemically bonded stationary phases as they are between the polar chemically bonded phases and alkylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phases.
