Poly(2-N-carbazolylethyl acrylate)-modified silica as a new polymeric stationary phase for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
Poly(2-N-carbazolylethyl acrylate) having terminal trimethoxysilyl groups was newly synthesized by radical polymerization and immobilized onto the silica surface (Sil-CEA). The chromatographic property of Sil-CEA was examined by applying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as solutes. Poly(4-vinylpyridine)-modified silica (Sil-VP) and monomeric octadecylated silica (ODS) columns were used as the reference columns. Less sensitivity to molecular hydrophobicity and enhanced molecular planarity selectivity were obtained with Sil-CEA compared to ODS. On the other hand, high retention factors for the analyzed solutes and an opposite elution order for linear and disc-shaped solutes were obtained with Sil-CEA compared with Sil-VP. In this paper, the application for separation of tocopherols was also described.
