Abstract

Chiral crystalline sponges (CCSs) are a recent class of chiral porous metal complexes potential in chiral recognition. Here we report the fabrication of polysiloxane OV-1701 incorporated CCS-3S (PSO/CCS-3S) coated capillary column as a novel stationary phase for gas chromatographic separation of diverse racemates. CCS-3S with the chiral ligand of (S)-mandelic was selected as the model CCS. With the aid of polysiloxane OV-1701, PSO/CCS-3S coated capillary column gave improved resolution, broader enantiomers separation scope and much larger McReynolds constants than CCS-3S coated capillary column. Many racemates that cannot be separated on CCS-3S coated capillary column were well resolved on PSO/CCS-3S coated capillary column. The PSO/CCS-3S coated capillary column also gave wide linear range, low limit of detection, good repeatability and reproducibility, and fine inertness and anti-column bleeding properties for the separation of enantiomers. In addition, the PSO/CCS-3S coated capillary column presented better resolution for the studied racemates than commercial β-cyclodextrin based Cyclosil B (30 m long ×0.32 mm i.d. × 0.25 μm film thickness), β-DEX 225 (30 m long ×0.25 mm i.d. × 0.25 μm film thickness) and amino acid based Chirasil L-Val (25 m long ×0.25 mm i.d. × 0.12 μm film thickness) capillary columns. These results indicate the great potential of PSO/CCS-3S coated capillary column in separation of enantiomers.
