The pmparation of monomeric reversed phases

(RPs)

with C1-Cz8alkyi groups

are dessribed Methods for checking the quality of

RPs are cussed. The retentions

of

polar and non-polar samples were found to be intluenced by the eluent, the length

of the organic “bristle”,

the carbon content of the RP, the pore size distribution of

the sihca support and the total porosity of the stationary phase. The efficiency is a

function of (among other factors) the composition of the eluent, the capacity ratio,

the Iength of the bristle, the sieve fraction and the packing density. The maximum

sample size is ICI imes greater than that with silica and increaseswith increasing car-

bon content of the RP. The speed of analySis increases with decreasing length of the

bristle The mechanism of sorption procedures should *bediscussedwith extreme cau-

tion after the qua&y of the

RP

has been defined.

ENTRODUCKON

Recently, the properties of reversed phases and their mechanism in high-

performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have frequently been discussed.Unfor-

tunately2however, there is a great variety of such phases, depending on: (1) the qual-

ity of the organic “bristle” chemically bonded on the surface of silica, i.e., C,--C,a

all@ groups; (2)the specifk surface area and pore size distribution of the silica; and

(3) the m&hod of preparation of these phases, resuhing in different carbon contents

per unit surf&e area of the silica, I.e., in different concentrations of the more or less

shielded polar silanot groups.

.- Stationary phases with organic groups permanently bonded to the surface of

silica were introduced in chromato,mphy in 1969’. The organic molecules can be

bonded to the surface of silica in three difherent ways:

(1) -Reaction of the silanof groups on the surface with alcohols, resulting in an

ester bond (Si+-C). The alcoholic reactant can contain different functional groups.

The& chemically bonded phases have excehent properties in gas chromatography2,

but their use -in liquid chromatography is restricted owing to their insufficient sta-

bility against hydrolysis. :

(2) Reaction of the silano~ groups, especially their chloride derivatives, with

(3) Reaction of the silanol groups with chlorosiIane6, resulting in cheruically

bonded phases that are stable over the pH range l-8.5 (at higher pH values_ he silica

-

carrier starts to dissolve)‘. In a first approach, bristle-type (f-e., monomeric) phases

can be prepared only by using monocblorosilanes. It is to ‘be expected, however, that

owi%g to the bulky aIky1 groups bonded to the silicon atom, the coverage and the

shieiding of the silauols might be less than if di- or trichlorosiktn& are used. On the

other hand; with polyfunctional chlorosilanes, siloxane-typt5polymers t&d on the

surf2ce can be prepared

sg f water is added during the reaction or it is not strictly

excluded. A polymeric structure, however, is not always desirable in HPLC because

of the slow mass transfer in the polymer coating

l”.L1.With porous layer beads (PLR)

covered with a “polymeric” structure of chemically bonded phase, it was found that

the efficiency ofthe columns was less than that with comparable liquid loadings with

mechanically held organic

phases

**. With “monomeric” chemically bonded phases,

higher efficiencies were obtained than with comparable liquid loadings on the same

materiaF.

Chemically bonded phases have been reviewed in several papers14-17,ncluding

discussions on selectivity and sorption mechanisms’*-*‘. These papers, as well as

current research=-=, de4 mainly with apolar stationary phases, .e., “reversed-phase”

(RP) systems. These systems have been widely used, after their introductionz, in all

kinds of column and flat-bed chromatography26-2g.

In HPLC, chemically bonded phases offer many advantages.-The select& of

the stationary phase (silica) can be changed and modified. The absolute and relative

retentions in columns packed with chemically bonded phases including RI?) are

hardly affected by small changes in the water content of the eluents, while the opposite

is true for silica. The equilibration of he stationary phase with a changed water con-

tent of the eluent (extremely impo_rtant n gradient elution) is much moreyrapid with

chemically bonded phases than with silica or alumina.

The stability of chemically honded phases against hydrolysis increases rrom

SiUC through Si-N-C to Si-C bonding. Unfortunately, the difiicubies in the prep-

aration increase in the same order. It is not a problem to prepare an RP, but it is

extremely difI?cult to “cook” a good one.

PEtEF’ARATION OF REVERSED PHASES

Sificas~with verage pore diametersof 60,100 and 500A were used (Lichrosorb

~~SiIica Eidchlorosil&s were reacted & desc&ed previousfy6 Wtiter and water

vaiour were excluded in order to prevent the polymer&&ion of the chlorosiknes- to

pOlysiloxa&. After the reaction and the washing procedure, unreacted accessible

silanol groups were determined by methyl red adsorption32. This reaction is a sensitive

test for acidic protons on the silica surface. After the reaction, only a slight reddish

colour was sometimes observed. Such ph&es were siknized further with hexamethyl-

distiazane or bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide in toluene. only

ph ses with

a negative

methyl red test were used.

The phases were further characterized hy their carbon content, determined by

classical C, W analysis. fn order to achieve good results, a relatively large amount

(10-15 mg) was used for the analysis. The reproducibility of the analysis was better

than

-&-IO% although the carbon content of the stationary phases was always below

22%. The reproducibility of the preparation of the stationary phases was as good or

better than the C, H analysis, because no difference in the carbon content could be

observed between different batches.

Table I lists the diierent stationary phases prepared with Lichrosorb S&100.

For the calculations, a specific surface area of 300-350 m*/g was assumed [the siianol

concentration on the surface of silica is about 8 ymole/mz (ref. 33)]_ With increasing

chain-length of the bristle, the total carbon content increases from 3.1 to about 20%

(w/w). The number of organic molecules per unit surface area (100 pi”> decreases

from five molecules with the C, bristle to about 2 mokcules with the C,, bristle. Even

with a place requirement of 50 A2, no acckslble (unshielded) s&no1 groups were

determined by methyl red adsorption. The unreacted hydroxyl groups are shielded

by-the a&y1 chains.

In addition to the phases shown in Table I, other types of silica were also used.

With Lichrosorb SI-500 (average pore diameter 500 A; surface area according to the

manufacturer, 35 m*/g) the carbon content of a G, phase was 6.25 %. With the given

surf&e area, a surface concentration of 5.4 mole&es per 100 A2 and a corresponding

When_ the reaction was repeated under extremei$ dry conditions,~ he same vah&

were obtained. Independent surEa& area measurements with &fErent stipks gave

values between 78 and 106m*/g. The use of an average vailue of 92 m’/g for the

calculations resulted in a concentration of 2.OS~organic mo ecul& per 100AZ place

requirement of 48.6 A?), which is in good agreement -with the values of a C, phase

on SI-loo.

With SI-60 (surface area Ca . 409 m’/g), a carbon content of 22% (w/w) was

found.

The stability of the phases was tested in the pH range L-9. Wit& t&range,

no loss in the carbon content could be observed by C, H analysis. At pH above 9,~

the silica matrix dissolved_ Temperature stability is not of major importance in

HPLC; the temperature stability decreases with increasing chain-length of the

bristle. For the C,, phase, noticeable decomposition starts at temperatures above

220” (ref. 30).

CHROMATOGRAPEIIC MEASUREMENTS

A home-built equipment was used3-‘,

ncluding a device for the control of the

inlet pressures. A differential refractometer (Model R401, Waters Assoc., Milford,

Mass., U.S.A.)_ or a home-built UV detector operating at 254 & 10 nm was used.

The samples were injected on the top of ffie stationary phase. The columns were

drilled, and packed by a modifkd slurry technique, by either the balanced density or

viscosity method% using 5- or .lO-pm particks. Packing of 25-35-pm particles was

performed by vibration and tapping. Only purified eluents were used.

CHAFWCTERIZATION OF THE STAiIONARY PHXES

Non-polar eluents

With non-polar eluents (such as n-heptane) and silica, the retention order iS

due to the interaction between the silanol groups and the sample3’. The absolute

retentions (or the capacity ratios, k’) are a function of the amount of silanol groups in

the cohunn. As this amount

-decreases,

the value of k’ also decreases. n RP coitums,

where

no siianol groups are accessible, the non-polka samples wiil be eluted with

t& e

inert peak if the eluent is non-polar. The more unreacted &an01 groups are present,

the higher will be the k’ value of the polar samples.

Table II shows the k’ values of the non-polar to medium polar samples on

di8erent RP stationary phases with a non-polar ehtent (n-heptane). Withn-heptane,

the k’ values show a minimum with the C, bristles, aithough the concentration ofthe

alkyd groups on the surface is highest with the~C_bristle. With CIs, the k’ values are

alinost as high as with C,. The shielding of the unreacted silanol &oups seems to be

optimal with the butyl group. It wouid be expected_that G, groups would&e

better shielding properties, but it is overcompensate4 for by the@ -highaverage p&e

requirement; which is about 1.5 times greater than

that

for a buty1 group. %nifar

@PAW RATIOS ON RP WlTH n-HEPTANE AS

ELUENT

With this eiuent, the elution order increased from butanoi to methanol,

i.e.,

the

retention order was a function of the uureacted and unshielded siianoi groups on the

surface of the RP.

The Muence of unreacted and unshielded siianol groups is demonstrated by

the much ;ighet k’ values obtained with the CISX

having an 11% (w/w) carbon content

compared with the Cl8 having a 22 % (w/w) carbon content. With silica and n-heptane,

the k’ vaiues are about 0.5 for benzene and 14 or nitrobenzene. The more polar esters

and the dinitrobenzene are not eiuted under the usual conditions.

As a result of these experiences, only RPs with the foiiowing properties were

used for further work: (1) no methyl red adsorption; (2) capacity ratios of benzene

and nitrobenzene less than 0.1 and 0.5, respectiveiy, with n-heptaue as eiuent. These

phases, when tested by gas chromatography, gave symmetricai ether peaks, which is

a standard requirement for good chemicaiiy bonded phases*.

From the point of view of covering and shielding the surface siianoi groups,

the use of butyisiianes would be optimal. However, RP systems are hardly used with

non-polar eiuents, and the behaviour of the phases with polar eiuents will determine

the optimai bristle length.

Typical eiuents used in RP chromatography are methanol, water and their mix-

tures. Zn the following studies, we restricted ourseives to these eiuents.

Fig. 1 shows the influence of the bristie iength bonded on to the surface on the

retentions ofu-aikanes, the logarithm of the capacity ratios of CCC,, n-aikanes being

plotted against carbon number. For each bristle type between C1 and C18,a linear

relationship is obtained with methanol as eiuent. This is not a typical separation prob-

iem in HPLC, but for systematic studies it might be valuable. The siope of the iines

(i-e., the relative retentions of the n-alkanes) increases with increasing iength of the

bristles. The difference between the behaviour of the GS (22 %, w/w,-carbon) and the

eSx (11x, w/w, carbon) stationary phases-isnotable. Comparing the carbon content

of the d@erent RPs in Table I, it seems that not only the chain length but also the

amount of organic material bonded on to the sifica determines the absolute and

re ative retentions (compare the data for C,, and C,, in Table P and Fig. 1).

. ‘~ChemiSl~ bonded non-polar stationary- phases of the reversed-phase & e

have been p&pared. The aim was to~minimize the intbrence cTt.he sihznoi groups of

the .sij.ica n solute retentions. A_ non-polar stationary phase must not *ve acce&We

kqgii fsom methyl to ootadecyl, it was found that the average place requirement

increases from about 20 A* for the methyl group to about 50 AZ for the actadecy

group. The c&er&eadd/or the shielding ofthe surface .siIanolgroup is optimal tith

butyl groups, On C, Rjp, the retenfion ofpolarcomponents in-non-polar efuents such

as x-heptane or dichIoromethane is minimai. -~ ~-

With typical eluents for RP separations such _as methanol and wateri~ he k’

values and the relative retentions increase with iucreasing length ofthe bristles. The

efficiencies of columns packed with these materials are not influenced by the length

of the bristles. Therefore, for difficult separations (small relative retentions), (& RP

systems with a high carbon content should be used. However, faster separations arc

obtained with shorter bristles, i.e., with butyl groups (C,). The higher the carbon

content of the RP, the greater the amount ofa sample that can be separated without

loss of resolution. Such systems offer gaod possibilities for use~inpreparative liquid

chromatography.

RP systems offer -great potentialities for the separation of polar samples as

as for. the separation of hydrocarbons. Fig. 8 shows the separation of Merent

phenols with water as eluent with a C, RP. The time of analysis is doubled if a C,,
