Anion-exchange behavior of several alkylsilica reversed-phase columns
2008
Marchand, D.H. | Snyder, L.R.
Some alkylsilica columns carry a positive charge at low pH, as determined by anion-exchange with nitrate ion. In the present study, the relative positive charge for 14 alkylsilica columns was measured for a mobile-phase pH 3.0. All but 3 of these columns were found to carry a significant positive charge under these conditions. The relative positive charge on these columns was found to correlate approximately with two other column characteristics: relative cation-exchange behavior as measured by the hydrophobic-subtraction model (values of C-2.8), and slow equilibration of the column to changes in the mobile-phase--as evidenced by a slow change in the retention of anionic and cationic solutes with time. The origin of this positive charge may arise from the bonding process, with incorporation of some cationic entity into the stationary phase.
