Molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) against N-Cbz-L-Tyr were prepared utilizing different polymer systems and evaluated in HPLC mode. It was found that MIP utilizing cocktail functional monomers, acrylamide + 2-vinylpyridine showed better molecular recognition and better separation ability for the template molecule than those utilizing other functional monomers. MIP utilizing trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate as cross-linker showed higher load capacity and separation factor than those utilizing ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker. Increasing the concentration of competing solvent, acetic acid weakened me ionic interaction and hydrogen bonding between the analyte and the functional monomers, 2-vinylpyridine and acrylamide, when me template enantiomer was separated by HPLC. Therefore increasing of the concentration of acetic acid leads to decreasing of capacity factor, separation factor and resolution.
In this paper, the enthalpy-entropy compensation effect in the enantiomeric separation by modified cyclodextrins (CD) and diamide chiral stationary phase (GP) gas chromatography was investigated using the method of plotting Δ( ΔH) versus Δ(ΔG) 7hm combined with t-test statistic analysis. The investigated racemates cover α-phenylethylamine and its analogs, 2-alkylamines, chiral acyclic alcohols, halogenated arylethanediol-1, 2-diperfluoropropionates, amino acid and its analogs, and two series of compounds containing chloro and bromo substituents. From the compensation analysis results, the effects of the diluent composition in the investigated chiral stationary phases, the size and the died pups on investigated cyclodextrins, the derivatization methods and the groups attached to the stereocenters on enantiomeric separation mechanisms were all discussed.
