Separation Mechanism

  • Dispersion force (instantaneous dipole–induced dipole force)
    London dispersion force is a weak intermolecular force that results from dipoles temporarily induced by random unsymmetrical electron positions in two adjacent atoms, also known as instantaneous dipole–induced dipole force. It is present in all molecules regardless of polarity. Compounds with high polarizability have stronger dispersion force.
  • Compounds with stronger dispersion force
    • Larger and heavier molecules
    • Molecules with larger and heavier atoms (e.g. from weakest to strongest in halogens, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2)
    • Molecules with delocalized electrons and resonance (e.g. aromatic compounds)

COSMOSIL PBr column is packed with pentabromobenzyl-bonded silica that enables separation by dispersion force interaction.

Difference between Methanol and Acetonitrile Mobile Phases

Comparison of Separation Ability
Acetonitrile is frequently used in HPLC to reduce backpressure. However, the π electrons in acetonitrile interfere with the dispersion force interaction between the sample and the stationary phase. Therefore, we recommend using methanol as the organic solvent.

Column: COSMOCORE 2.6PBr
Column size: 2.1mmI.D.-100mm
Mobile phase: **
Flow rate: 0.4 ml/min
Temperature: 40°C
Detection: UV210nm
Sample: 1; Stevioside (5.0mg/ml)
2; RebaudiosideA
Inj. Vol: 1.0µl

Comparison of Pressure
In general, methanol/water mobile phases exhibit significantly higher pressure than acetonitrile/water. However, the pressure never exceeded 30 MPa in our test of a 2.1 mm x 100 mm column. Since COSMOSORE 2.6PBr can withstand 60 MPa, methanol-based mobile phases are usable even with UHPLC.

Comparison to HILIC

Both columns are suitable for analysis of hydrophilic compounds, but they have different properties.

  PBr HILIC
Separation Mode  Reversed Phase Separation Mode
Features
  • Simple mobile phase conditions compared to HILIC.
  • Strong eluent: organic (methanol) Weak eluent: water
  • Low peak distortion with water-based samples; usable with large injection volumes of dilute samples.
  • Some hydrophilic compounds are not retained well.
  • Retains hydrophilic compounds that would not be retained by C18 columns.
  • Strong eluent: water Weak eluent: organic (acetonitrile)
  • Peak distortion occurs with large volumes of samples dissolved in water.
