Abstract

Polyethylene glycol-based polymeric monolithic stationary phases (capillary columns of 0.32 mm I.D.) were successfully prepared via one-pot-single-step reaction and were use in ion chromatography for the separation of several common inorganic anions. It should be noted that the prepared polyethylene glycol-monoliths were able to retain and separate the anions even though there were no ion-exchange sites. The retention mechanism was found to be based on the eluent cations trapped among the polyethylene glycol chains and worked as the anion-exchange sites. Several parameters such as the reaction conditions, monomer:porogen ratios, type of eluents, etc., were investigated. The relative standard deviations obtained for the retention times and signal intensities were less than 5 and 10% respectively. Theoretical plate numbers obtained for the separation of these anions were calculated to be in the range of 700-4300 plates for capillary columns of 10 cm in length.

Polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA) was reacted with ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) together with an initiator (AIBN) and biporogenic solvent (1-propanol and 1,4-butanediol) via one-pot-single-step reaction. The PEG chains present on the synthezied monoliths were able to trap eluent cations (M+) and have ionic intereactions with the analyte anions (A-) as well as the eluent anion (E-).
