Perhydroxycucurbit [6]uril {(HO) 12 CB[6]} has been used successfully as a stationary phase for packed column gas chromatography for the first time. Perhydroxycucurbit[6]uril stationary phase (PSP) exhibited wide operational temperature, outstanding thermostability and good selectivities to various organic compounds, such as alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, ketones, amines, etc. It was also found that some positional isomers, such as disubstituted benzenes could be well separated on this column. PSP has excel1ent separation abilities to some complicate samples, for example, commercial toilet water. Some mechanism of the new packing for GC-separation was preliminarily discussed. It was observed that the partial inclusion complexation of PSP with analytes could improve separation selectivity and column efficiency, instead of complete inclusion. Moreover, PSP exhibited low baseline shift even at dramatically programmed temperature for complicate samples covering a wide boiling point range so as to fast assay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
