Abstract

The preparation and characterization of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,3-bis(allyloxyethoxy)ether (CA[4]-BAE) chemically coated capillaries via a free-radical reaction with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) that was attached onto the inner wall previously were carried out. IR spectra and decreased electroosmotic flow (EOF) suggested that the capillary was successfully coated with CA[4]-BAE. A slight slope of EOF versus pH at 5 < pH < 9 would help to make the separation reproducible. The CA[4]-BAE-coated capillary showed improved separations of toluidine isomers, naphthol isomers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) compared with an uncoated capillary. The special selectivity indicates that there is a certain extent of host-guest interactions between the solutes and the CA[4]-BAE coating.

  17. Pretreated procedure as follows: Fused-silica capillary of 50 cm x 50 xm i.d. was sequentially rinsed with 1 M NaOH for 30 min, pure water for 15 min, 1 M HCl for 15 min and pure water for 15 min. After purged with nitrogen for 20 min, the capillary was placed in the oven at 150°C and purged with nitrogen for 4 h.
