Poole CF. Guidelines for descriptor assignments for the solvation parameter model by separation techniques. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1729:464964. [PMID: 38843574 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/17/2024]
Abstract
The solvation parameter model uses six compound descriptors to model equilibrium properties in biphasic systems formally defined as excess molar refraction, E, dipolarity/polarizability, S, overall hydrogen-bond acidity, A, overall hydrogen-bond basicity, B, McGowan's characteristic volume, V, and the gas-liquid partition constant on hexadecane at 25 °C, L. The V descriptor can be assigned from structure and the E descriptor for compounds liquid at 20 °C can be calculated from its refractive index and characteristic volume. The E descriptor for compounds solid at 20 °C and the S, A, B, and L descriptors are assigned from experimental properties traditionally obtained by chromatographic, liquid-liquid partition, and solubility measurements. Here I report an efficient experimental design using the Solver method for the accurate assignment of descriptors for neutral compounds that simultaneously minimizes laboratory resources. This multi-technique approach requires 3 retention factor measurements in a 60 °C temperature range per compound on four columns by gas chromatography, 3 retention factor measurements in a 30 % (v/v) acetonitrile composition range per compound on two columns by reversed-phase liquid chromatography, and eight partition constant measurements by liquid-liquid partition in totally organic and aqueous biphasic systems for a total of 26 experimental measurements. The accuracy of the descriptor assignments was validated by comparison with the values in the Wayne State University (WSU) descriptor database taken as the best estimate of the true descriptor values. The E, S, A, B and L descriptors were assigned simultaneously by the Solver method using the above approach without significant bias and with an average absolute deviation (AAD) of 0.054, 0.018, 0.015, 0.013, and 0.040, respectively, compared with the WSU database values, corresponding to a relative absolute average deviation in percent (RAAD) of 7.2, 1.9, 3.6, 5.1, and 0.84 %, respectively, for 32 varied compounds. This streamlined approach represents a significant improvement on earlier single-technique approaches used as the starting point for the development of the multi-technique approach. For compounds of variable hydrogen-bond basicity modifications to the multi-technique approach were implemented while maintaining the same number of experimental measurements. Acceptable descriptor assignments for B/B° were obtained for compounds liquid at 20 °C for which the E descriptor was available by calculation. For solid compounds at 20 °C the E and B/B° descriptors are restricted to qualitative application where approximate values may be acceptable.

J Chromatogr A 2024; 1727:464969. [PMID: 38776606 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Polymerization of 5-n-alkyl-substituted 2-norbornenes synthesized a series of polymers having the same structure of the main polymer chain, but differing in the length of the alkyl substituent (up to 14 methylene units). The obtained polymers were studied by the capillary IGC method as a stationary phase during separation of a mixture of normal hydrocarbons C6-C10. Retention data in the form of a logarithm of the retention factor lnk were correlated with the size of the sorbate (via the carbon number of the alkane ZS) and with the size of the n-alkyl substituent in the polymer chain (via the carbon number of the polymer ZP). Correlation of lnk vs. ZS turned out to be linear for all polymers, but the angle of the slope of linear dependence dlnk/dZS increases with a decrease in the carbon number of the polymer ZP. Dependency of dlnk/dZS vs. ZP is not linear and indicates an increase in the retention of sorbates by the stationary phase with a decrease in the length of the alkyl substituent in the polymer chain. The correlation of the retention of lnk analytes with the carbon number of the polymer ZP is not linear and indicates an increase in the sorbate/sorbent interaction with a decrease in the length of the alkyl substituent. Inflection points were found at both correlations with ZP in the region of ZP = 8, which indicates a possible change in the sorption mechanism or a change in the phase state of the polymer. In polymer chemistry, the phase state of a polymer is characterized by the glass transition temperature Tg, the dependence of which vs. ZP turned out to be nonlinear with an inflection point at ZP ∼11. Thus, a decrease in the length of the alkyl substituent leads to the transition of the polymer from a rubbery state to a glassy one at ZP ∼ 11, which in turn, with a further decrease in the carbon number of the polymer to ZP ∼ 8, causes a change in the sorption mechanism from bulk sorption to surface sorption. The change in the sorption mechanism is accompanied by an increase in the interaction of the sorbate with the stationary phase, which manifests itself both in an increase in the retention time of analytes and in an increase in the enthalpy and entropy of sorption. The reason for this increase can be seen in the formation of a microporous structure in 5-alkyl-substituted polynorbornenes in a glassy state.

Abstract
The solvation parameter model uses five system independent descriptors to characterize compound properties defined as excess molar refraction, E, dipolarity/polarizability, S, hydrogen-bond acidity, A, hydrogen-bond basicity, B, and the gas-liquid partition constant at 25 °C on n-hexadecane, L, to model transfer properties in gas-condensed phase biphasic systems. The E descriptor for compounds liquid at 20 °C is available by calculation using a refractive index value while E for solid compounds at 20 °C and the S, A, B, and L descriptors are determined by experiment. As a single-technique approach, it is shown that with up to 20 retention factor measurements on four columns comprising a poly(siloxane) containing methyloctyl or dimethyldiphenylsiloxane monomers (SPB-Octyl or HP-5), a poly(siloxane) containing methyltrifluoropropylsiloxane monomers (Rtx-OPP or DB-210), a poly(siloxane) containing bis(cyanopropylsiloxane) monomers (HP-88 or SGE BPX-90), and a poly(ethylene glycol) stationary phase (DB-WAXetr or HP-INNOWAX) are suitable for assigning the S, A, and L descriptors. Using the descriptors in the updated WSU compound descriptor database as target values the average absolute error in the descriptor assignments for 52 varied compounds in the temperature range 60-140 °C was 0.072 for E, 0.016 for S, 0.008 for A, and 0.022 for L corresponding to 30 %, 3.5 %, and 0.6 % as a relative average absolute error for E, S, and L, respectively. For the higher temperature range of 160-240 °C and 34 varied compounds that are liquid at 20 °C the average absolute error for the S, A and L descriptors was 0.026, 0.020, and 0.031, respectively, with the largest relative average absolute error for S of 3.2 % (< 1 % for the L descriptor). For 35 varied compounds that are solid at 20 °C the relative absolute error for the E, S, A, and L descriptors in the higher temperature range was 0.068, 0.035, 0.020, and 0.020, respectively, with a relative average absolute error for E (6.5 %), S (3.5 %) and L (0.88 %). The S, A, and L descriptor can be accurately assigned on the four-column system over a wide temperature range. The E descriptor for solid compounds at 20 °C exhibits greater variability than desirable. The B descriptor cannot be assigned by the four-column system, which lack hydrogen-bond acid functional groups, and is only poorly assigned on the weak hydrogen-bond acid ionic liquid column SLB-IL100.

Abstract
Except for alkanes, most organic compounds are hydrogen-bond bases. The B° descriptor of the solvation parameter model provides a convenient measure of the effective (or summation) hydrogen-bond basicity of organic compounds. A fast and convenient method to assign the B° descriptor is required to support studies of hydrogen-bonding in separation systems. A two-column system with acetonitrile-water mobile phase compositions and the measurement of up to eleven isocratic retention factors is proposed for this purpose. Several reversed-phase column chemistries and mobile phases were evaluated with the two-column system consisting of a pentafluorophenylpropylsiloxane-bonded and octadecylsiloxane-bonded silica columns recommended for this purpose. To assess the accuracy of the method values for B° were taken from the Wayne State University (WSU) compound descriptor database, which were assigned using conventional multi-technique methods and large datasets. The two-column systems provided an unbiased assignment of B° with an average deviation of 0.008 and an average absolute deviation of 0.021 compared with the target value for 55 varied compounds. The two-column system is unsuitable for assigning the other descriptors used in the solvation parameter model and results in erroneous assignments of B° for nitrogen-containing compounds capable of electrostatic interactions on silica-based reversed-phase columns.

Abstract
This novel radiolabeled chitosan nanoparticle, facilitated with curcumin, increased doxorubicin cytotoxicity and radiosensitivity to MG-63 osteosarcoma cells in a three-dimensional model. Delivery of the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles, directly labeled with Na131I (ICED-N), achieved deep tumor penetration in a three-dimensional model. Of three kinetic models, the Higuchi model more closely matched the experimental curve and release profiles. The anti-EGFR targeting resulted in a 513-fold greater targeting efficacy to MG-63 (EGFR+) cells than the control fibroblast (EGFR-) cells. The curcumin-enhanced ICED-N (4 × 0.925 MBq) fractionated-dose regime achieved an 18.3-fold increase in cell cytotoxicity compared to the single-dose (1 × 3.70 MBq) doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticle, and a 13.6-fold increase in cell cytotoxicity compared to the single-dose Na131I nanoparticle. Moreover, the ICED-N fractionated dose increased cells in the G2/M phase 8.78-fold, indicating the cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase is associated with DNA fragmentation, and the intracellular damage is unable to be repaired. Overall, the results indicate that the fractionated dose was more efficacious than a single dose, and curcumin substantially increased doxorubicin cytotoxicity and amplified osteosarcoma cell radiosensitivity to Na131I.

Abstract
The environmental partition properties of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) must be understood for their transport and fate analysis. In this study, isothermal gas chromatographic (GC) retention times of 60 neutral PFAS were measured using four columns with different stationary phase polarities, which indicated varying polar interactions exerted by these substances. The GC data were combined with new octanol/water partition coefficient data from this study and existing partition coefficient data from the literature and used to determine the polyparameter linear free energy relationship (PP-LFER) solute descriptors. A complete set of the solute descriptors was obtained for 47 PFAS, demonstrating the characteristic intermolecular interaction properties, such as hydrogen bonding capabilities influenced by the electron-withdrawing perfluoroalkyl group. The partition coefficients between octanol and water, air and water, and octanol and air predicted by the PP-LFER models agreed with those predicted by the quantum chemically based model COSMOtherm, suggesting that both models are highly accurate for neutral PFAS and can fill the current large data gaps in partition property data. A chemical partitioning space plot was generated by using the PP-LFER-predicted partition coefficients, showing the primary importance of the air phase for the environmental distribution of nonpolar and weakly polar PFAS and the increasing significance of organic phases with increasing PFAS polarity.

Abstract
Revised descriptors are determined for fifteen phthalate esters for use in the solvation parameter model and form part of the Wayne State University (WSU) compound descriptor database. For thirteen phthalate esters a comparison is made with the same compounds in the Abraham descriptor database. Gas chromatographic retention factors on poly(methyloctylsiloxane), SPB-Octyl, and poly(cyanopropylphenyldimethylsiloxane), DB-225, stationary phases are used to facilitate an assessment of the contribution of cavity formation and dispersion interactions, L descriptor, and dipole-type interactions, S descriptor, to the experimental retention factors (log k) for the phthalate esters with minimum interference from competing intermolecular interactions. The results indicate a systematic overprediction of the cavity and dispersion interaction term and underprediction of dipole-type interactions for the Abraham descriptors compared with the WSU descriptors for the phthalate esters. The average absolute deviation (AAD) for 13 phthalate esters on SPB-Octyl is 0.039 (WSU descriptors) compared with 0.252 (Abraham descriptors) and for 9 phthalate esters on DB-225 0.030 (WSU descriptors) compared with 0.167 (Abraham descriptors). The results for dipole-type interactions are confirmed and extended to include the hydrogen-bond basicity of the phthalate esters, B descriptor, by evaluation of partition constants in aqueous biphasic systems and the n-heptane-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol biphasic system. Differences in the contribution of the hydrogen-bond basicity of the phthalate esters to the experimental partition constants are largely random with respect to database selection but important for the accurate prediction of the partition constants. The AAD for the partition constant for 15 phthalate esters is 0.063 (WSU descriptors) compared with 0.320 (Abraham descriptors) for the heptane-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol biphasic system and 0.13 (WSU descriptors) compared with 0.25 (Abraham descriptors) for 9 phthalate esters in the octanol-water biphasic system. The WSU descriptors for the phthalate esters exhibit a better fit with the experimental data for separation systems and are free of the extreme values predicted for the Abraham descriptors for several phthalate esters.

Surface-bubble-modulated liquid chromatography: an experimental strategy for identification of molecular processes of solute retention in reversed-phase separation systems. ANAL SCI 2023; 39:791-813.

Abstract
Molecular level understanding of the chemistry at the aqueous/hydrophobe interface is crucial to separation processes in aqueous media, such as reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and solid-phase extraction (SPE). Despite significant advances in our knowledge of the solute retention mechanism in these reversed-phase systems, direct observation of the behavior of molecules and ions at the interface in reversed-phase systems still remains a major challenge and experimental probing techniques that provide the spatial information of the distribution of molecules and ions are required. This review addresses surface-bubble-modulated liquid chromatography (SBMLC), which has a stationary gas phase in a column packed with hydrophobic porous materials and enables one to observe the molecular distribution in the heterogeneous reversed-phase systems consisting of the bulk liquid phase, the interfacial liquid layer, and the hydrophobic materials. The distribution coefficients of organic compounds referring to their accumulations onto the interface of alkyl- and phenyl-hexyl-bonded silica particles exposed to water or acetonitrile-water and into the bonded layers from the bulk liquid phase are determined by SBMLC. The experimental data obtained by SBMLC show that the water/hydrophobe interface exhibits an accumulation selectivity for organic compounds, which is quite different from that of the interior of the bonded chain layer, and the overall separation selectivity of the reversed-phase systems is determined by the relative sizes of the aqueous/hydrophobe interface and the hydrophobe. The solvent composition and the thickness of the interfacial liquid layer formed on octadecyl-bonded (C18) silica surfaces are also estimated from the bulk liquid phase volume determined by the ion partition method employing small inorganic ions as probes. It is clarified that various hydrophilic organic compounds as well as inorganic ions recognize the interfacial liquid layer formed on the C18-bonded silica surfaces as being different from the bulk liquid phase. The behavior of some solute compounds exhibiting substantially weak retention in RPLC or the so-called negative adsorption, such as urea, sugars, and inorganic ions, can rationally be interpreted with a partition between the bulk liquid phase and the interfacial liquid layer. The spatial distribution of solute molecules and the structural properties of the solvent layer on the C18-bonded layer determined by the liquid chromatographic methods are discussed in comparison to the results obtained by other research groups using molecular simulation methods.

Abstract
The transfer of neutral compounds between immiscible phases in chromatographic or environmental systems can be described by six solute properties (solute descriptors) using the solvation parameter model. The solute descriptors are size (McGowan's characteristic volume), V, excess molar refraction, E, dipolarity/polarizability, S, hydrogen-bond acidity and basicity, A and B, and the gas-liquid partition constant on n-hexadecane at 298.15 K, L. V and E for liquids are accessible by calculation but the other descriptors and E for solids are determined experimentally by chromatographic, liquid-liquid partition, and solubility measurements. These solute descriptors are available for several thousand compounds in the Abraham solute descriptor databases and for several hundred compounds in the WSU experimental solute descriptor database. In the first part of this review, we highlight features important in defining each descriptor, their experimental determination, compare descriptor quality for the two organized descriptor databases, and methods for estimating Abraham solute descriptors. In the second part we focus on recent applications of the solvation parameter model to characterize environmental systems and its use for the identification of surrogate chromatographic models for estimating environmental properties.

Abstract
Centroiding is one of the major approaches used for size reduction of the data generated by high-resolution mass spectrometry. During centroiding, performed either during acquisition or as a pre-processing step, the mass profiles are represented by a single value (i.e., the centroid). While being effective in reducing the data size, centroiding also reduces the level of information density present in the mass peak profile. Moreover, each step of the centroiding process and their consequences on the final results may not be completely clear. Here, we present Cent2Prof, a package containing two algorithms that enables the conversion of the centroided data to mass peak profile data and vice versa. The centroiding algorithm uses the resolution-based mass peak width parameter as the first guess and self-adjusts to fit the data. In addition to the m/z values, the centroiding algorithm also generates the measured mass peak widths at half-height, which can be used during the feature detection and identification. The mass peak profile prediction algorithm employs a random-forest model for the prediction of mass peak widths, which is consequently used for mass profile reconstruction. The centroiding results were compared to the outputs of the MZmine-implemented centroiding algorithm. Our algorithm resulted in rates of false detection ≤5% while the MZmine algorithm resulted in 30% rate of false positive and 3% rate of false negative. The error in profile prediction was ≤56% independent of the mass, ionization mode, and intensity, which was 6 times more accurate than the resolution-based estimated values.

[PMID: 34038623 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202001285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
The phase ratio of a chromatographic system is an important measurement that has long been estimated or calculated, but rarely directly measured. This study utilized a nanoflow liquid chromatography instrument to more accurately measure the phase ratio for a lauryl acrylate porous polymer monolith. Direct measurement of the phase ratio, and its dependence on temperature, allows for a better understanding of the thermodynamics of retention of small analytes. This study investigates the retention of an alkyl benzene series, toluene to octylbenzene, via capillary electrochromatography. The phase ratio was determined to be 0.202 at 303 K and 0.213 at 333 K. Using the directly measured phase ratio, entropic contributions to retention can also be obtained. Therefore, the Gibbs free energy calculations from these measurements and methods can give insight to modes of retention. The free energy of retention for toluene is -3.97 kJ/mol at 303 K and -3.78 kJ/mol at 333 K. The trends for enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy of transfer show that retention is enthalpically driven in this capillary electrochromatography (CEC) porous polymer monolith system.

Abstract
The solvation parameter model affords a useful tool to model distribution properties of neutral compounds in biphasic separation systems. Common applications include column characterization and method development in gas chromatography; reversed-phase, micellar and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography; supercritical fluid chromatography; and micellar electrokinetic chromatography. The characterization of the distribution properties of liquid-liquid partition systems is another major application of this model. This tutorial is aimed at establishing good practices for the application of the model to separation systems. Suitable experimental protocols to determine system constants by multiple linear regression analysis and descriptors by the Solver method are presented; statistical tools to evaluate model quality are discussed; and model-specific data analysis tools based on system maps and correlation diagrams are described.

Abstract
Over the years room temperature ionic liquids have gained attention as solvents with favorable environmental and technical features. Both chromatographic and conventional methods afford suitable tools for the study of their physicochemical properties. Use of gas chromatography compared to conventional methods for the measurement of physicochemical properties of ionic liquids have several advantages; very low sample concentrations, high accuracy, faster measurements, use of wider temperature range and the possibility to determine physicochemical properties of impure samples. Also, general purpose gas chromatography instruments are widely available in most laboratories thus alleviating the need to purchase more specific instruments for less common physiochemical measurements. Some of the main types of physicochemical properties of ionic liquids accessible using gas chromatography include gas-liquid partition constants, infinite dilution activity coefficients, partial molar quantities, solubility parameters, system constants of the solvation parameter model, thermal stability, transport properties, and catalytic and other surface properties.

Abstract
This chapter discusses the fundamentals of gas chromatography (GC) to improve method development for metabolic profiling of complex biological samples. The selection of column geometry and phase ratio impacts analyte mass transfer, which must be carefully optimized for fast analysis. Stationary phase selection is critical to obtain baseline resolution of critical pairs, but such selection must consider important aspects of metabolomic protocols, such as derivatization and dependence of analyte identification on existing databases. Sample preparation methods are also addressed depending on the sample matrix, including liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase microextraction.

Abstract
The ultimate purpose of this research work is to get an insight into the incomplete elution of heavy n-alkanes which along with thermal cracking, is one of the two main factors questioning the reliability of High Temperature Gas Chromatography (HTGC) analysis of heavy oils. For this purpose, knowledge of how the Distribution Factors vary with temperature is an essential requirement in the GC modelling. This study provides an extension of the data set of distribution factors for n-alkanes up to nC98H198 in a HT5 GC column over the temperature range 10 °C-430 °C, and introduces a method to determine the distribution coefficient of heavy n-alkanes by using two complimentary HTGC modes: i.) High-Efficiency mode, for efficient resolution with a long column operated at low flow rate with n-alkanes elution rate up to nC64, and ii.) true SimDist mode, with a short column operated at high flow rate for inefficient resolution with n-alkanes elution rate up to nC100. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the use of the in-house obtained distribution factors as the main input in the in-house GC model for the prediction of the retention times. Its validation has been carried out using distribution factors obtained at both constant flow rate and constant inlet pressure operating conditions, with an average relative error in the GC modelling at the same operating conditions of 4.4% for the former and 1.5% for the latter. This new extension of the data set of heavy n-alkanes distribution factors provides the basis for studying the partitioning and incomplete elution of heavy n-alkanes in HTGC analysis. Also, these new distribution factors can be used as input in GC modelling, to determine the optimum analytical conditions to improve the separation process and thus the HTGC practices.

Evaluation of three temperature- and mobile phase-dependent retention models for reversed-phase liquid chromatographic retention and apparent retention enthalpy. J Chromatogr A 2018; 1589:73-82.

Abstract
Predicting retention and enthalpy allows for the simulation and optimization of advanced chromatographic techniques including gradient separations, temperature-assisted solute focusing, multidimensional liquid chromatography, and solvent focusing. In this paper we explore the fits of three expressions for retention as a function of mobile phase composition and temperature to retention data of 101 small molecules in reversed phase liquid chromatography. The three retention equations investigated are those by Neue and Kuss (NK) and two different equations by Pappa-Louisi et al., one based on a partition model (PL-P) and one based on an adsorption model (PL-A). More than 25 000 retention factors were determined for 101 small molecules under various mobile phase and temperature conditions. The pure experimental uncertainty is very small, approximately 0.22% uncertainty in retention factors measured on the same day (2.1% when performed on different days). Each of the three equations for ln(k) was fit to the experimental data based on a least-squares approach and the results were analyzed using lack-of-fit residuals. The PL-A model, while complex, gives the best overall fits. In addition to examining the equations' adequacy for retention, we also examined their use for apparent retention enthalpy. This enthalpy can be predicted by taking the derivative of these expressions with respect to the inverse of absolute temperature. The numerical values of the fitted parameters based on retention data can then be used to predict retention enthalpy. These enthalpy predictions were compared to those obtained from a modified van 't Hoff equation that included a quadratic term in inverse temperature. Based on analysis of 1 211 van 't Hoff plots (solute-mobile phase-day combinations), ninety-eight percent showed a significantly better fit when using the modified van 't Hoff expression, justifying its use to provide apparent enthalpies as a function of mobile phase composition and temperature. The foregoing apparent enthalpies were compared to the apparent enthalpies predicted by the three models. The PL-A model, which contains a temperature dependent enthalpy, provided the best enthalpy prediction. However, there is virtually no correlation between the overall lack of fit to experimental ln(k) for each model and the corresponding lack of fit of the linear (in 1/T) van 't Hoff expression. Thus, the temperature-dependent enthalpy is apparently not the cause of a model's ability to fit ln(k) as a function of mobile phase composition and temperature. The value in these expressions is their ability to predict chromatograms, allowing for optimization of an advanced chromatographic technique. The two simpler models NK and PL-P, which do not contain a temperature dependent enthalpy, have their merits in modelling retention (NK being the better of the two) and enthalpy (PL-P being the better of the two) if a simpler expression is required for a given application.

Abstract
The objective in routine analyses is generally to determine a small number of analytes. With samples containing ∼103 or more components there will be insufficient peak capacity to resolve analytes from nonanalytes. This issue was addressed herein through a new type of separation mechanism in which small groups of targeted analytes are bound with high affinity to a soluble analyte-sequestering transport phase (ASTP) composed of a ∼25 nm Stokes radius hydrophilic polymer core (HPC). When introduced into a 30 nm pore diameter size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) column, ASTP/analyte complexes elute within minutes, together, unretained, and relatively pure in the first chromatographic peak. Nonanalytes, in contrast, enter pore matrices of the packing material, are retarded in elution velocity, and are eluted later, separated from analytes. Fabrication of ASTPs was achieved by covalently coupling an antibody or some other affinity selector to a high molecular weight HPC. Beyond sequestering analytes, the function of ASTPs is to act as a molecular weight shifting agent, conveying an effective molecular weight to analytes that is much larger than that of nonanalytes and causing them to elute in the SEC void volume. This mode of separation is referred to as mobile affinity sorbent chromatography (MASC). Subsequent to their purification, ASTP/analyte complexes were detected by fluorescence spectrometry.

Abstract
The current theory of programmed temperature gas chromatography considers that solutes are focused by the stationary phase at the column head completely and does not explicitly recognize the different effects of initial temperature (To ) and heating rate (rT ) on the retention time or temperature of a homologue series. In the present study, n-alkanes, 1-alkenes, 1-alkyl alcohols, alkyl benzenes, and fatty acid methyl esters standards were used as model chemicals and were separated on two nonpolar columns, one moderately polar column and one polar column. Effects of To and rT on the retention of nonstationary phase focusing solutes can be explicitly described with isothermal and cubic equation models, respectively. When the solutes were in the stationary phase focusing status, the single-retention behavior of solutes was observed. It is simple, dependent upon rT only and can be well described by the cubic equation model that was visualized through four sequential slope analyses. These observed dual- and single-retention behaviors of solutes were validated by various experimental data, physical properties, and computational simulation.

Abstract
The efficiency of chromatographic separations decreases markedly when peaks exhibit asymmetry (e.g., "peak tailing"). Theoretically, these effects can arise from heterogeneous adsorption kinetics. To investigate the nature and consequences of such heterogeneity, we used a combination of single-molecule imaging and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). In both single-molecule and macroscopic RPLC experiments, the stationary phase was hydrophobic end-capped (trimethylsilyl-functionalized) silica, which we exposed to different methanol/water solutions (50%-62% methanol), containing a fluorescent fatty acid analyte. Super-resolution maps based on single-molecule observations revealed rare, strong adsorption sites with activity that varied significantly with methanol concentration. The adsorption and desorption kinetics on the strong sites were heterogeneous and positively correlated, suggesting a broad underlying distribution of site binding energies. Adsorption equilibrium on the strong sites was more sensitive to solution conditions than overall retention measured in RPLC experiments, suggesting that the effect of strong sites on the overall adsorption kinetics should change with solution conditions. Interestingly, in RPLC experiments, peak tailing had a nonmonotonic dependence on methanol concentration within the range studied. Using the stochastic model of chromatography, we showed quantitatively that our single-molecule kinetic results were consistent with this macroscopic trend. This approach to identifying and quantifying adsorption sites should be useful for designing better chromatographic separations and for identifying the role of heterogeneous surface chemistry in molecular dynamics.

Abstract
Gas holdup time (tM) is a basic parameter in isothermal gas chromatography (GC). Determination and evaluation of tM and retention behaviors of n-alkanes under isothermal GC conditions have been extensively studied since the 1950s, but still remains unresolved. The difference equation (DE) model [J. Chromatogr. A 1260: 215-223] reveals retention behaviors of n-alkanes excluding tM, while the quadratic equation (QE) model [J. Chromatogr. A 1260: 224-231] including tM is suitable for applications. In the present study, tM values were calculated with the QE model, which is referred to as tMT, evaluated and compared with other three typical nonlinear models. The QE model gives an accurate estimation of tM in isothermal GC. The tMT values are highly accurate, stable, and easy to calculate and use. There is only one tMT value at each GC condition. The proper classification of tM values can clarify their disagreement and facilitate GC retention data standardization for which tMT values are promising reference tM values.
