Gas Chromatography-1 Schematic diagram

Gas Chromatography-2 Columns : open tubular columns

Gas Chromatography-3 m.p.(gas) - s.p. s.p.: solid（using adsorption）ex: SiO2 column ages: Si-O-H cause tailing peak. 2) s.p.: liquid（GLC, using partition） a range of polarities (Table 22-1), “like dissolves like” Decrease thickness of stationary phase leads to Resolution (H) tr Sample capacity

Gas Chromatography-4 B) The effects of column polarity on separation Like dissolves like (a) S.P: nonpolar, b.p. dependent (b) S.P: polar

How changing the S.P. can affect separation Figure 22-4 Resolution of trans fatty acids in hydrogenated food oil improves when the stationary phase is changed from DB-23 to HP-88 (aryl group) P.484

Gas Chromatography-5 C) Common solid s.p. : a) Porous carbon : larger molecules bind more tightly than small ones, flexible molecules bind more than rigid ones b) Molecular sieves : inorganic materials with nanometer-size cavities that retain & separate small molecules : H2, O2, N2, CO2, CH4. (Fig. 22-5) c) Guard column Collect nonvolatile components that would otherwise be injected into a column and never be eluted.

Gas Chromatography-6 packed column vs. open tubular column higher resolution lower sample capacity

Gas Chromatography-7 Temperature programming  temp of column   v.p. solute,   tr  sharpens peaks isothermal : constant temp. temp. programming (gradient) : raise the column temp. during the separation.

Gas Chromatography-9 4. Carrier Gas

Gas Chromatography-10 5. Sample Injection 1) gasses, liquids, or solids  vaporized, not decomposition 2) injection time   bands broader 3) injected by syringe (manual or automatic injection)

Gas Chromatography-11 Figure 22-7 Injection port operation for (a) split, (b) splitless, and (c) on-column injection into an open tubular column.

-12Gas Chromatography split injection (350℃) (only 0.1-10% sample) Routine method concentrated sample high resolution dirty samples could cause thermal decomposition splitless injection (220℃) (80%) For quantitative analysis and for analysis of trace components of mixture solvent trapping (Tsolvent < 40℃) for dilute sample cold trapping (Tsolute < 150℃) for high-boiling solutes on-column injection (50℃) (100%) best for thermally unstable solutes.

Gas Chromatography-13 5. Detectors Qualitative analysis : mass spectrometer, IR Quantitative analysis : area of a chromatographic peak.

Gas Chromatography-14 d) Mass Spectrometric Detection and Selected Reaction Monitoring : - A mass spectrometer is the single most versatile detector. - Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC) - selected ion monitoring (SIM) at on value of m/z - selected reaction monitoring (SRM) = tandem mass = MS/MS - Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)

QQQ Mass Spectrometer Precursor ion (parent ion) vs. Product ions (daughter ion) Solid phase extraction (SPE)

Liquid Chromatography-1 1. open, gravity-feed column 2. closed column (under high pressure) packed with micron-size particles. (HPLC) 3. stationary phase : a. adsorption : silica (SiO2xH2O), alumina (Al2O3xH2O), b. molecular exclusion, c. ion-exchange, affinity

Liquid Chromatography-2 compete with ▲ for binding on s.p. the more strongly bind to s.p. eluent strength 

Liquid Chromatography-3 4. Eluent strength : Table 22.2 The more polar solvent   eluent strength   tr 5. Gradient elution : increased the eluent strength during the separation in liquid chromatography.

HPLC-3

HPLC-4 3. Stationary phase a) Normal-phase chromatography : polar s.p. and less polar solvent. Eluent strength is increased by adding a more polar solvent. b) Reversed-phase chromatography : low-polarity s.p. and polar solvent. Eluent strength is increased by adding a less polar solvent.

HPLC-5 c) Bonded stationary phase. polar vs. nonpolar d) Optical isomers D- & L-amino acids for drug industry see p.494 for R = polar or nonpolar

HPLC-6 d) Optical isomers separation ex: for ant-inflammatory drug Naproxen

HPLC-7 5. Solvents a) Isocratic elution : elution with single solvent or a constant solvent mixture b) Gradient elution : solvent is changed continuously from a weak eluent strength to a strong eluent strength by mixing more and more of a strong solvent to a weak solvent during the chromatography.
