abstractabstractIt has been said that residual silanol groups on a C18 silica stationary phase yielded peak tailing for basic compounds. A lot of efforts have been exerted for reducing effect of residualsilanol groups by an end-capping or embedding a polar group in an alkyl chain. Consequently, a sharp peak of a basic compound has been obtained although retention of a basic compound has been getting little. On the other hand, on hydrophilic interaction chromatography (hilic) mode, a silica column is recently used under a mixture of an organic solvent and a buffer solution, which is the same as a mobile phase used for reversed-phase liquid chromatography. In this mode, a peak shape of a basic compound is good not tailing. In other words a silanol group on a silica stationary phase is not a cause for tailing of a basic compound, at least on hilic mode.

We found that a silanol group controlled its activity by the heat treatment didn’t make a basic compound tailing even if it existed on the C18 reversed-phase. Secondary interaction based on residual silanol groups for reversed-phase liquid chromatography was evaluated using a C18 stationary phase with silanol groups controlled its activity. It was observed that retention of basic compounds and polar compounds was several times larger than that using a conventional end-capped C18 silica stationary phase, furthermore it dropped as pH value of a mobile phase decreased and salt concentration in a mobile phase increased while retention of neutral compounds didn’t change completely. It is considered that an ion-exchange interaction occurred clearly by residual silanol groups on a C18 silica stationary phase. As a result, a residual silanol group controlled its activity could change selectivity of basic compounds without peak tailing.

Our hypothesisOur hypothesis
Peak tailing of a basic compound is caused bythe state of silanol groups, not by existence of silanol groups on silica surface.
Silanol groups near a strong hydrophobic site don’t occur an ion-exchange interaction etc. rapidly.
Decrease density of alkyl groups and make hydrophobicity low.
Control activity of silanol groups near only hydrophobic site

Warped siloxane SiloxaneSilanol group
• Condensation of silanol group starts from near 100 °C.• Vacuum heat treatment makes an amount of silanolgroup low by water deprivation and siloxane produces.• Under 400 °C, siloxane reverts silanol groups by rehydration.• Over 400 °C, rehydration do not occur.
Pittcon 2009Pittcon 2009 88
Control of Control of silanolsilanol group group
Siloxane near hydrophobic site (C18) is kept at the same state and no silanolgoup produces by rehydration.
Siloxane away from hydrophobic site is rehydrated. Consequentlysilanol group produces and it is unaffected by hydrophobic site.
Prevention of tailing for basic compound
Increase of retention of polar and basic compounds, in spite of no change of retention of a neutral compound

【【ConclusionsConclusions】】 Residual silanol group in proposed C18 phase made
retention of polar compounds including basic compounds high.
Silanol group controlled its activity by heat treatment did not make peak of basic compounds be tailing.
Furthermore, ion-exchange interaction was recognized and retention of basic compounds could be changed by pH or salt concentration in a mobile phase.
Proposed C18 phase was effective to separation of a metal chelating compound. It is surmised that hydration or change of state of silanol groups contributed to suppress influence of a metal impurity on a silica support.
