One-pot synthesis of N-methylimidazolium-based porous polymer monolith for capillary electrochromatography via free radical copolymerization and quaterisation
One-pot synthesis of porous polymer monolith decorated with N-methylimidazolium in a capillary was described. The polymer matrix was synthesized by in situ copolymerization and quaterization of 3-chloro-2-hydroxylpropyl methacrylate (CHPMA), ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA), and N-methylimidazole (N-MIz). The influencing factors including amount of cross-linkers, composition of porogenic solvents, and polymerization temperature on the formation of the monolithic column were investigated. The monolithic column exhibited high column efficiency for thiourea, up to 135 000 plates per meter, and phenylmethanol, up to 102 000 plates per meter. Different types of compounds including alkylbenzenes, phenols, and inorganic anions were successfully baseline separated by capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The separation of theses analytes on the column indicated typical reversed-phase and anion-exchange chromatographic retention mechanism.
