Abstract

Three reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) stationary phases were obtained by using long-chain 1-octadecene (OD) co-grafted with three short-chain monomers, including N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), 1-vinylimidazole (VIm) and 4-vinylpyridine (VPy), respectively (noted as Sil@ODNVP, Sil@ODVIm and Sil@ODVPy). Peak broadening phenomenon in RPLC mode which resulted by short-chain was examined carefully. Compared with Sil@ODNVP, both of Sil@ODVIm and Sil@ODVPy had smaller peak width and higher column efficiency in the separation of 10 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 7 alkyl benzenes, 7 aromatic acids, 7 aromatic esters and 9 phenols. In addition, VPy has the strongest ion exchange capacity than other two short-chains. In this case, we can see that VPy and VIm maybe more suitable to be used as functional monomeric modifiers of new chromatographic stationary phases.
