Retention mechanism of some solutes using ionic liquids as mobile phase modifier in RP-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
Two kinds of ionic liquid, 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Hmim][BF4]) and 1-Methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Omim][BF4]), were used as additives in the linear solvation energy relationships (LSERs) model to investigate the fundamental chemical interactions governing the retention of nine aromatic compounds in acetonitrile/water mobile phases on a C18 column. The effects of the [Hmim][BF4] and [Omim][BF4] were compared and the ability of the LSERs to account for the chemical interactions underlying solute retention was shown. A comparison of predicted and experimental retention factors suggests that LSER formalism is able to reproduce adequately the experimental retention factors of the solutes studied in the different experimental conditions investigated.
