For polar solute

The most common mobile phase for supercritical fluid chromatography is CO2. Its low critical temperature, 31 °C, and critical pressure, 72.9 atm, are relatively easy to achieve and maintain. Although supercritical CO2 is a good solvent for nonpolar organics, it is less useful for polar solutes. The addition of an organic modifier, such as methanol, improves the mobile phase s elution strength. Other common mobile phases and their critical temperatures and pressures are listed in Table 12.7. 

For polar solutes and solvents, particularly those capable of hydrogen bonding, secondary solvent effects due to the specific nature of solute-solvent interactions may also have to be included in the model, since the ass imption that they are identical in the adsorbed and mobile phases, and therefore self-canceling, is no longer necessarily true. The addition of a secondary solvent term... 

The data in Tables 5 and 6 bear out the earlier statement that, for polar solutes, Gelectrostatic is normally larger in magnitude than Gcavitation + Gvdw, sometimes considerably so. The only exception to this in these two tables is CH3NH2, at the GBM level. 

As implied above, the principal interaction mechanism for polar solutes seems to be the reaction field effect. Specific interactions, notably hydrogen bonding, are also common. For non-polar solutes dispersion interactions seem to predominate. None of the investigations reported to date have developed completely satisfactory solutions to the interaction question, but it appears from the most recent studies that all interaction mechanisms are present in all systems. Most authors have simply reported the dominant effect for the particular case with which they were concerned. Particularly intriguing is the indication that dispersion interactions and reaction field effects produce the opposite affect on coupling constants. 

Solubility depends on the type of solutes and solvents used. Polar solvent dissolves polar solute better than a nonpolar solute. It is known as like dissolves like . For example, water, is a good solvent for polar solutes, such as NaCl and HCl. Carbon tetrachloride is a good solvent for nonpolar solutes such as I2.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a low supercritical temperature (31°C) and pressure (73 atm). It is nontoxic and nonflammable and is available at high purity. Therefore, CO2 has become the solvent of choice for most SFE applications. Being nonpolar and without permanent dipole moment, supercritical CO2 is a good solvent for the extraction of nonpolar and moderately polar compounds. However, its solvating power for polar solutes is rather poor. Moreover, when the solutes bind strongly to the matrix, the solvent strength of CO2 is often inadequate to break the solute-matrix bond. 

SB-cyanopropyl-25 This phase has 25% cyanopropyl substitution often gives longer retention for polar solutes. 

The barrier effect of the stratum corneum to nonpolar solutes has been attributed to the interstitial lipids, and to a more polar pathway for polar solutes (1-21). The physical structures of the lipoidal and polar pathways should affect their function in the barrier properties of the stratum corneum. 

The line TW in figure 3.8 is dashed. This is the virtually non-existent situation where water is being used as the stationary phase. Although this suggestion is not at all practical, it is clear from figure 3.8 that a very high selectivity could be obtained for polar solutes. 

Very polar molecules tend to not dissolve in nonpolar solvents few theories deal with the electrical effects of polar solvents on the electrical parameters for polar solutes. 

Modifiers very often accompany carbon dioxide as supercritical extractant. Because CO, is non-polar, it is classified as a non-polar solvent however, because of its large molecular quadrupole, it exhibits some affinity for polar solutes. 

However, in the case of protonated amines, quadratic relationships were obtained with MeOH. l general, for polar solutes, linearity holds within a limited range using mobile phases rich in aqueous component. In contrast, for... 

The 25% and 50% cyanopropyl phases exhibit permanent dipoles that interact strongly with polar solutes. Because this translates into longer retention times for polar solutes, only lower-molecular-weight materials of this type can be eluted. Polarizable (aromatic and unsaturated hydrocarbons) and weakly dipolar solutes are good candidates for analysis with these phases. Aliphatic hydrocarbons overload easily but elute rapidly.

Gas chromatography is often divided into categories based on the type of stationary phase used. Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) implements a porous, inert solid support that is coated with a viscous, nonvolatile liquid phase. On the other hand, gas-solid chromatography (GSC) uses a solid adsorbent as the stationary phase. Klee offers these general rules-of-thumb for selection of stationary phase materials use solid adsorbents to separate room-temperature gases, liquid stationary phases to separate room-temperature liquid and solid mixtures, polar phases for polar solutes, and nonpolar phases for nonpolar solutes. Table 1 lists common liquid- and solid-stationary phase materials available for use in capillary columns. Barry cross-refers numerous column materials from nine different manufacturers. ... 

Table 12.4 shows the characteristics of several of the SDB sorbents and the older styrene-divinylbenzae copolymers (XAD) as a comparison. The XAD resins have generally a somewhat lower surface area, approximately half that of the newer SDBs. This lower surface area generally means that the sorbent will have somewhat less capacity for polar solutes. For example, Pichon...
