Hybrid silica monolithic column for capillary electrochromatography with enhanced cathodic electroosmotic flow.
A hybrid silica monolithic stationary phase for RP CEC was prepared by in situ co-condensation of (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES), and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) via a sol-gel process. The thiol groups on the surface of the stationary phase were oxidized to sulfonic acids by peroxytrifluoroacetic acid. The introduced sulfonic acid moieties on the monoliths were characterized by a strong and relatively stable EOF in a broad pH range from 2.35 to 7.0 in CEC. Aromatic acids and neutral compounds can be simultaneously separated in this column under cathodic EOF. The CEC column exhibited a typical RP chromatographic mechanism for neutral compounds due to the introduced phenyl groups.
