Monomeric vs. polymeric bonded iminodiacetate silica supports in high-performance ligand-exchange chromatography

subject

description

The synthesis of monomeric and polymeric bonded iminodiacetate-groups on silica supports is described. The polymeric support offers advantages over the monomeric, such as (i) preparation is much simpler, (ii) higher surface concentration of functional groups can be achieved without loss of efficiency and (iii) hydrolytic stability. Cu2+ loaded supports were examined for their kinetic performance, in particular for the C-parameter of the Knox equation, and for their hydrolytic stability. Calculation of the surface coverage shows that only a rather thin polymeric layer is formed; this is in agreement with the results of the kinetic performance. The retention of α-amino acids on the Cu2+ loaded polymeric support demonstrates its use in HPLEC.
