The anionic part of ionic liquids can provide addnl. interactions during chromatog. separations The chromatog. separation performance of a silica column functionalized with 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid was improved by in situ anion-exchange from chloride anions to dodecyl sulfonate anions and dodecylbenzene sulfonate anions. The separation performances of these ionic liquid functionalized phases were studied and compared with each other using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phthalates, parabens, and phenols as model compounds The new columns presented a better chromatog. separation than the original one. This was ascribed retention mechanism from organic anions. The introduction of dodecyl sulfonate anions increased the hydrophobicity of stationary phase. Also, the Ph groups of dodecylbenzene sulfonate anions could provide an enhanced selectivity to aromatic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by π-π interactions. Anal. repeatability of the new columns was satisfactory (relative standard deviation of retention time, 0.10-0.40%; relative standard deviation of peak area, 0.66-0.84%). In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Methyl-3-propylimidazolium Chloride (cas: 79917-89-8Product Details of 79917-89-8).
1-Methyl-3-propylimidazolium Chloride (cas: 79917-89-8) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Many natural products, especially alkaloids, contain the imidazole ring. These imidazoles share the 1,3-C3N2 ring but feature varied substituents. Imidazole derivatives have antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer functionality. It interacts with DNA and also binds to protein and stops cell division.Product Details of 79917-89-8
