The synthesis of chloropropyl-functionalized silica hybrid monolithic column with modification of N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecylamine for capillary electrochromatography separation

A chloropropyl-functionalized silica (CP-silica) hybrid monolithic column was synthesized within the confines of a capillary via the sol–gel process using tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and (3-chloropropyl)-trimethoxysilane (CPTMS) as the precursors. The resulting CP-silica hybrid monolith inside the cap...

Zusammenfassung:A chloropropyl-functionalized silica (CP-silica) hybrid monolithic column was synthesized within the confines of a capillary via the sol–gel process using tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and (3-chloropropyl)-trimethoxysilane (CPTMS) as the precursors. The resulting CP-silica hybrid monolith inside the capillary showed homogeneous macroporous morphology and was well attached to the inner wall of the capillary. The obtained CP-silica hybrid monolithic capillary column demonstrated the inherent hydrophobic property and could be applied as a reversed-phase stationary phase in CEC directly. Due to the great chemical reactivity of the incorporated chloro groups on the hybrid silica monolithic matrix, the chloropropyl moieties on the surface of the hybrid silica monolith matrix could be conveniently further modified by a tertiary amine of N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecylamine (DMDA) via the nucleophilic substitution reaction at 70 °C to introduce a dodecyl groups (C12) onto the CP-silica hybrid monolithic matrix. The resulting C12-silica hybrid monolithic column not only demonstrated the significantly enhanced hydrophobic property in the separation of alkylbenzenes in reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography (RP-CEC), but also the strong electroosmotic flow (EOF) in a wide pH range. Five alkylbenzenes could be baseline separated in 3 min with column efficiency ranging from 189 700 to 221 000 N/m with a 70% ACN running buffer in CEC.
