Abstract
As the societal issue of increasing global illicit drug usage emerges, there is a growing demand for more portable and versatile drug detectors. Traditional drug analysis techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) face significant challenges in adapting to diverse real-world applications due to their size, cost, and power requirements. While advancements have been made in the development of on-site drug detection methods such as fluorescence, stereoresonance energy transfer (FRET), colorimetric, electrochemical sensing, and lateral flow assays (LFAs), their reliance on specific reactive materials poses limitations in effectively detecting a wide range of narcotics. Therefore, this study proposes the development of specialized microcolumns with optimized stationary phases for next-generation portable microfabricated GC-based narcotic detectors. The stationary phase consists of a hybrid gel incorporating the ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]) and OV-1. The stationary phase not only enhances interactions between drug analytes but also demonstrates improved separation characteristics among various narcotic substances. Additionally, the principles of the separation results were validated through density functional theory (DFT) analysis, and the effective separation of over seven types of narcotics was demonstrated through temperature optimization. This research lays the groundwork for the advancement of next-generation portable drug analyzers, offering significant potential in the field.

Quantitative structure-retention relationships for pyridinium-based ionic liquids used as gas chromatographic stationary phases: convenient software and assessment of reliability of the results. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1730:465144. [PMID: 38996513 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465144] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Ionic liquids, i.e., organic salts with a low melting point, can be used as gas chromatographic liquid stationary phases. These stationary phases have some advantages such as peculiar selectivity, high polarity, and thermostability. Many previous works are devoted to such stationary phases. However, there are still no large enough retention data sets of structurally diverse compounds for them. Consequently, there are very few works devoted to quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRR) for ionic liquid-based stationary phases. This work is aimed at closing this gap. Three ionic liquids with substituted pyridinium cations are considered. We provide large enough data sets (123-158 compounds) that can be used in further works devoted to QSRR and related methods. We provide a QSRR study using this data set and demonstrate the following. The retention index for a polyethylene glycol stationary phase (denoted as RI_PEG), predicted using another model, can be used as a molecular descriptor. This descriptor significantly improves the accuracy of the QSRR model. Both deep learning-based and linear models were considered for RI_PEG prediction. The ability to predict the retention indices for ionic liquid-based stationary phases with high accuracy is demonstrated. Particular attention is paid to the reproducibility and reliability of the QSRR study. It was demonstrated that adding/removing several compounds, small perturbations of the data set can considerably affect the results such as descriptor importance and model accuracy. These facts have to be considered in order to avoid misleading conclusions. For the QSRR research, we developed a software tool with a graphical user interface, which we called CHERESHNYA. It is intended to select molecular descriptors and construct linear equations connecting molecular descriptors with gas chromatographic retention indices for any stationary phase. The software allows the user to generate several hundred molecular descriptors (one-dimensional and two-dimensional). Among them, predicted retention indices for popular stationary phases such as polydimethylsiloxane and polyethylene glycol are used as molecular descriptors. Various methods for selecting (and assessing the importance of) molecular descriptors have been implemented, in particular the Boruta algorithm, partial least squares, genetic algorithms, L1-regularized regression (LASSO) and others. The software is free, open-source and available online: https://github.com/mtshn/chereshnya.

Abstract
At present, stationary phases based on ionic liquids are a promising and widely used technique in gas chromatography, yet they remain poorly studied. Unfortunately, testing of "new" stationary phases is often carried out on a limited set of test compounds (about 10 compounds) of relatively simple structures. This study represents the first investigation into the physicochemical patterns of retention of substituted (including polysubstituted) aromatic alcohols on two stationary phases of different polarities: one based on pyridinium-based ionic liquids and the other on a standard polar phase. The retention order of the studied compounds on such stationary phases compared to the standard polar phase, polyethylene glycol (SH-Stabilwax), was compared and studied. It was shown that pyridinium-based ionic liquids stationary phase has a different selectivity compared to the SH-Stabilwax. Using a quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRR) study, the differences in selectivity of the two stationary phases were interpreted. Using CHERESHNYA software, the importance of descriptors on different stationary phases was evaluated for the same data set. Different selectivity of the stationary phases correlates with different contributions of descriptors for the analytes under study. For the first time, we show that in-column dehydration is observed for some compounds (mostly substituted benzyl alcohols). This effect is worthy of further investigation and requires attention when analyzing complex mixtures. It suggests that when testing "new" stationary phases, it is necessary to conduct tests on a large set of different classes of compounds. This is because, in the case of using ionic liquids as an stationary phase, a reaction between the analyte and the stationary phase is possible.

Abstract
This work reports the first example of employing ester-functionalized pillar[5]arene (P5A-C10-OAc) stationary phase for gas chromatography (GC) separations. The as-fabricated P5A-C10-OAc column achieved improved column efficiency of 4270 plates/m and separation performance in contrast to the P5-C10-Br column. The P5A-C10-OAc column showed good separation performance for a wide range of analytes such as alkanes, bromoalkanes, ketones, fatty acid methyl esters, aldehydes, alcohols, halobenzenes, anilines, phenols, naphthalenes, and showed sharp and symmetrical peak shapes for analytes that are liable to peak-tailing in GC analysis. As testified by the challenging isomer mixtures (bromonitrobenzene, chloronitrobenzene, bromobenzaldehyde, chlorobenzaldehyde, nitrobenzaldehyde), the P5A-C10-OAc column exhibited comprehensively higher separation capability than the P5A-C10-Br, P5A-C10 and commercial HP-35 columns. This work demonstrates the great potential of pillararene-based stationary phases as a new type of stationary phases for GC separations.

Abstract
This work presents the first example of the utilization of polar ester group functionalized pillar[6]arene (P6A-C10-OAc) as a stationary phase for capillary gas chromatographic (GC) separations. The statically coated P6A-C10-OAc column showed a high column efficiency of 5393 plates/m and moderate polar nature. Its resolving capability and retention behaviors were investigated for a mixture of 20 analytes and more than a dozen isomers from apolar to polar in nature. As evidenced, the P6A-C10-OAc column achieved high-resolution separations of all the analytes and good inertness. Importantly, it exhibited distinctly advantageous performance for high resolution of the challenging isomers of xylenes, diethylbenzenes, ethyltoluenes, and halobenzenes over the commercial HP-5 (5% phenyl dimethyl polysiloxane), HP-35 (25% phenyl dimethyl polysiloxane), and PEG-20M (polyethylene glycol) columns.

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.

Novel Models for Accurate Estimation of Air-Blood Partitioning: Applications to Individual Compounds and Complex Mixtures of Neutral Organic Compounds. J Chem Inf Model 2023; 63:7056-7066.

Abstract
The air-blood partition coefficient (Kab) is extensively employed in human health risk assessment for chemical exposure. However, current Kab estimation approaches either require an extensive number of parameters or lack precision. In this study, we present two novel and parsimonious models to accurately estimate Kab values for individual neutral organic compounds, as well as their complex mixtures. The first model, termed the GC×GC model, was developed based on the retention times of nonpolar chemical analytes on comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC). This model is unique in its ability to estimate the Kab values for complex mixtures of nonpolar organic chemicals. The GC×GC model successfully accounted for the Kab variance (R2 = 0.97) and demonstrated strong prediction power (RMSE = 0.31 log unit) for an independent set of nonpolar chemical analytes. Overall, the GC×GC model can be used to estimate Kab values for complex mixtures of neutral organic compounds. The second model, termed the partition model (PM), is based on two types of partition coefficients: octanol to water (Kow) and air to water (Kaw). The PM was able to effectively account for the variability in Kab data (n = 344), yielding an R2 value of 0.93 and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.34 log unit. The predictive power and explanatory performance of the PM were found to be comparable to those of the parameter-intensive Abraham solvation models (ASMs). Additionally, the PM can be integrated into the software EPI Suite, which is widely used in chemical risk assessment for initial screening. The PM provides quick and reliable estimation of Kab compared to ASMs, while the GC×GC model is uniquely suited for estimating Kab values for complex mixtures of neutral organic compounds. In summary, our study introduces two novel and parsimonious models for the accurate estimation of Kab values for both individual compounds and complex mixtures.

Abstract
The study demonstrates the possibility of using ionic liquids (IL) as a stationary liquid phase (SLP) for gas chromatographic (GC) multicapillary columns (MCC). Three types of IL of three classes were employed as SLP: Imidazolium, Pyridinium and Quinolinium. Dependences of the MCCs efficiency on the carrier gas flow rate were obtained. Highest efficiency was achieved on the column with 1,2-Dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (DiMPrIm). For this column, dependence of the efficiency on the sample volume has been investigated. Also the loading capacity of the MCC with DiMPrIm was determined. Separation of fatty acid esters and phenols served as an example to demonstrate that using ionic liquids as SLP for МСС make it possible to combine fast separations with high selectivity.

Abstract
The use of silver(I) ions in chemical separations, also known as argentation separations, is a powerful approach for the selective separation and analysis of many natural and synthetic organic compounds. In this review, a comprehensive discussion of the most common argentation separation techniques, including argentation-liquid chromatography (Ag-LC), argentation-gas chromatography (Ag-GC), argentation-facilitated transport membranes (Ag-FTMs), and argentation-solid phase extraction (Ag-SPE) is provided. For each of these techniques, notable advancements, optimized separations, and innovative applications are discussed. The review begins with an explanation of the fundamental chemistry underlying argentation separations, mainly the reversible π-complexation between silver(I) ions and carbon-carbon double bonds. Within Ag-LC, the use of silver(I) ions in thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, as well as preparative LC are explored. This discussion focuses on how silver(I) ions are employed in the stationary and mobile phase to separate unsaturated compounds. For Ag-GC and Ag-FTMs, different silver compounds and supporting media are discussed, often with relation to olefin-paraffin separations. Ag-SPE has been widely employed for the selective extraction of unsaturated compounds from complex matrices in sample preparation. This comprehensive review of Ag-LC, Ag-GC, Ag-FTMs, and Ag-SPE techniques emphasizes the immense potential of argentation separations in separations science and serves as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to learn, optimize, and utilize argentation separations.

Abstract
This work firstly reported a new polycaprolactone based material functionalized with guanidinium ionic liquid (PCL-GIL) as the stationary phase with high resolution performance for capillary gas chromatography (GC). It is composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and guanidinium ionic liquid (GIL) with amphiphilic conformation. The PCL-GIL capillary column coated by static method exhibited high column efficiency of 3942 plates/m and moderate polarity. As a result, the PCL-GIL column exhibited high-resolution capability. For a mixture of 27 analytes with a wide ranging polarity and outperformed the PCL-2OH and HP-35 columns, showing its advantageous separation capability for analytes of diverse types. Moreover, the PCL-GIL column showed high resolving capability for various positional isomers and cis-/trans-isomers, including alkylbenzenes, chlorobenzenes, naphthalenes, bromonitrobenzenes, chloronitrobenzenes, benzaldehydes, phenols, alcohols, respectively. In a word, PCL derivatized by GIL units as a new type of stationary phase has a promising future in GC separations.

Abstract
Terpenes and terpenoids are the principal responsible for the aroma of Cannabis, playing an important role in the interaction with the environment. Analytical determination of these compounds can be done by headspace coupled to solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and then injected in a gas chromatograph. In the present study, we determined distribution constants between gas and polydimetylsiloxane (PDMS), a conventional SPME liquid phase, at three temperatures between 303.15 and 343.15 K for major Cannabis terpenes and terpenoids employing a method based in gas chromatography using four capillary columns for monoterpenes and five columns for sesquiterpenes. In addition, van't Hoff regressions (logKfg vs T-1) were obtained in order to estimate logKfg at 298.15 K aiming to compare with bibliographic values (experimental or estimated ones). An excellent agreement was found between them. The method, based on chromatographic theory is robust and relatively simple. It is expected that the herein obtained data could be useful for selecting SPME fiber type and dimensions, estimating extraction efficiencies, as well as to develop prediction models and validate them.

Abstract
The distribution of neutral compounds in biphasic separation systems can be described by the solvation parameter model using six solute properties, or descriptors. These descriptors characterize the 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. McGowan's characteristic volume and the excess molar refraction for liquids are available by calculation (E requires and experimental refractive index). The other descriptors and excess molar refraction for solids are experimental quantities and subject to greater variation or are estimated using computational or empirical models. Solute descriptors for several thousand compounds are available in the Abraham descriptor database and for several hundred compounds in the WSU descriptor database. These publicly accessible databases were developed independently using different approaches and for many compounds provide different descriptor values. In this report we evaluate the effect of mixing descriptors from the two databases on modeling chromatographic retention factors and liquid-liquid partition constants. It is shown that the two descriptor databases are not interchangeable. The WSU descriptor database consistently demonstrates improved model quality as determined by statistical parameters. Model system constants exhibit a general dependence on database selection with an approximately linear trend as a function of the fraction of compounds assigned descriptors from either database. There is no general model performance advantage to using mixed descriptor datasets and no real cause for concern for relatively large datasets containing < 15 % of compounds with descriptors assigned from the other database. For small datasets, descriptor quality is an important variable for adequate model performance.

Abstract
This article provides a general overview of untargeted analysis using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC), while revisiting some fundamental aspects of method development. The original definition of chemometrics is also revised according to the latest developments of the field. We discuss how GC×GC has become an important backbone for new strategies in separation science, especially in multivariate data analysis. The concept of pixel is also revisited, as an important pixel-based data processing method, namely the Fisher ratio proposed by Synovec and coworkers, has been successfully implemented in important software for GC×GC.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137339.

Abstract
The human sensory irritation threshold (SIT) is an important biochemical parameter for the exposure assessment of organic air pollutants. First, we recalibrated the Abraham solvation models (ASMs) for 9 SIT endpoints by curating 720 individual experimental SIT values to find an accurate and parsimonious ASM variant, which exhibited root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.174-0.473 log unit. Second, we report linear free energy relationships - henceforth called partition models (PMs) - which exploit the correlations of 9 SIT endpoints with the linear combinations of partition coefficients for octanol-water and air-water systems showing RMSE = 0.221-0.591 log unit. These PMs can easily be integrated into widely used EPI-Suite™ screening tool. The explanatory and predictive performance of PMs were like parameter-intensive ASMs. Third, we present GC × GC models that are based on the retention times of the nonpolar analytes on the comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC), which successfully described the SIT variance (R2=0.959-0.996) and depicted a strong predictive power (RMSE = 0.359-0.660 log unit) for an independent set of nonpolar analytes. Taken together, PMs allow easy SIT screening of organic chemicals compared to ASMs. Unlike ASMs, our GC × GC models can be applied to estimate SIT of complex nonpolar mixtures.

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
Pillar[n]arenes possess highly symmetrical and rigid pillar-shaped architecture with π-electron rich cavity that afford their reliable host-guest recognition interactions towards matched guests. In this work, a novel amphiphilic pillar[5]arene (P5A-C10-2NH2) was designed, synthesized and employed as the stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography. To date, they have not been reported in the field of chromatography. The P5A-C10-2NH2 capillary column (10 m × 0.25 mm i.d.) was prepared by static coating method. Its capillary column exhibited moderate polarity and column efficiency of 2265 plates/m determined by naphthalene at 120 °C. As evidenced, the P5A-C10-2NH2 column achieved advantageous separation performance for a mixture of 24 analytes of diverse types and exhibited different chromatographic selectivity from two pillar[5]arene derivatives columns and commercial HP-35 column with 35%-phenyl-methylpolysiloxane. Moreover, the P5A-C10-2NH2 column baseline resolved more than a dozen positional and cis-trans isomers. Furthermore, the separation mechanism of P5A-C10-2NH2 column was discussed by quantum chemical calculations. In addition, the P5A-C10-2NH2 column had high thermal stability and excellent separation repeatability 0.01-0.04% for run-to-run, 0.03-0.17% for day-to-day and 3.2-3.9% for column-to-column. The special amphiphilic structure and high resolution for various analytes reveal the good potential of pillararenes as a new class of stationary phases for chromatographic analyses. Moreover, the TPG column achieved improved thermal stability over the GIL column and excellent repeatability.

Abstract
Phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) have proven to be successful stationary phases (SPs) for gas chromatography (GC) in several fields of application because of their unique selectivity and good chromatographic properties. This study focuses on the use of two ILs as GC SPs that are based on the phosphonium derivatives trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium chloride ([P66614+] [Cl-]), and trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([P66614+][NTf2-]), which have previously been shown to be complementary in terms of chromatographic selectivity and retention. Their application in routine analysis has been limited by their lower maximum allowable operating temperatures (MAOT) (200 °C for the [P66614+][Cl-] IL and 180 °C for [P66614+][NTf2-]), which restricts their use to samples that consist of analytes with relatively high volatility. A previous study carried out in the Authors' laboratory focused on extending the use of the [P66614+][Cl-] IL SP to the analysis of samples with analytes of medium-to-low volatility by optimizing column characteristics and operative conditions. This study addresses the immobilization of both the [P66614+][Cl-] and [P66614+][NTf2-] ILs to the inner wall of fused silica columns to increase their MAOT under soft and hard reaction conditions. The resulting MAOT depended on more or less drastic immobilization conditions, and reached 220 °C for soft immobilization (So-Im) and 240 °C for hard immobilization (Ha-Im) in the [P66614+][Cl-] IL columns, and 200 °C for So-Im and 220° for Ha-Im in columns coated with the [P66614+] [NTf2-] IL. The influence of immobilization on the separation power and performance of all the columns has been evaluated using i) the Grob test, ii) a model mixture of 41 compounds of different polarity, structure, and with different organic functional groups representative of the flavor and fragrance field, iii) a standard mixture of 37 fatty acid methyl esters, iv) the peppermint essential oil, v) two mixtures of sesquiterpenic alcohols (farnesols and santalols), and vi) a standard mixture of 16 pesticides. These test samples were also used to demonstrate the complementarity of the two phosphonium-based IL SPs in terms of selectivity and retention.

Abstract
Ionic liquid bonded polysiloxanes (PILs) are a class of polysiloxanes whose side chains contain ionic liquid (IL) moieties. They not only inherit the character of "dual nature" from ILs but also inherit the excellent film-forming ability and thermal stability from polysiloxanes. In this paper, the solvation parameter model is introduced to investigate the interaction characteristics of PILs. The experimental results show that the b values of PILs occur in a wider range than those previously reported for the stationary phases. The hydrogen bond acidity can be effectively adjusted by varying the ionic liquid content or substituents. Hindering the formation of the hydrogen-bonded networks and increasing the exposed hydrogens may be intrinsic to the strong hydrogen bond acidity of PILs. Subsequently, the separation performances of these PIL stationary phases were demonstrated by separating various mixed samples of aromatic isomers, dichloroanilines, substituted alkanes, alcohols, esters, etc. The results show that the PILs with strong hydrogen bond acidity have excellent selectivity performances for aromatic position isomers, alcohols, and substituted alkanes. This study is significant for understanding the hydrogen bond acidity and broadening the range of hydrogen bond acidity of ionic liquid stationary phases.

Abstract
This work reports a selective and inert triptycene-based stationary phase (TPT) combining the triptycene framework with tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) units for capillary gas chromatography (GC). The TPT stationary phase was physically coated onto a capillary column by static coating method with the column efficiency of 4200 plates/m and moderate polarity. As demonstrated, the TPT column exhibited high inertness towards organic bases, including basic heterocycles, aliphatic and aromatic amines, showing distinct advantages over the TPGS and commercial columns. Also, the TPT column displayed high-resolution performance towards the isomers of methylpyridines, toluidines, xylidines and alkanes (C6-C8). Moreover, it showed excellent separation repeatability and reproducibility with RSD values in the range of 0.03%-0.07% for run-to-run, 0.12%-0.18% for day-to-day and 2.3%-3.6% for column-to- column (n = 4). Its applications to purity test of chemical products and to GC-MS analysis of the essential oil of Artemisia annua L. demonstrated its good potential for practical analyses. The present work has novelty in constructing highly selective and inert stationary phases and providing a feasible strategy for concurrently addressing the related problems in GC analyses. Its methodology and findings is of important value in terms of fundamental researches and practical applications.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) exhibit unique properties that have led to their development and widespread use for a variety of applications. Development efforts have generally focused on achieving desired macroscopic properties via tuning of the IL through variation of the cations and anions. Both the macroscopic and microscopic properties of an IL influence its tunability and thus feasibility of use for selected applications. Works geared toward a microscopic understanding of the nature and strength of the intrinsic cation-anion interactions of ILs have been limited to date. Specifically, the intrinsic strength of the cation-anion interactions in ILs is largely unknown. In previous work, we employed threshold collision-induced dissociation (TCID) approaches supported and enhanced by electronic structure calculations to determine the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) and characterize the nature of the cation-anion interactions in a series of four 2 : 1 clusters of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations with the hexafluorophosphate anion, [2Cnmim:PF6]+. To examine the effects of the 1-alkyl chain on the structure and energetics of binding, the cation was varied over the series: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C2mim]+, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C4mim]+, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C6mim]+, and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C8mim]+. The variation in the strength of binding among these [2Cnmim:PF6]+ clusters was found to be similar in magnitude to the average experimental uncertainty in the measurements. To definitively establish an absolute order of binding among these [2Cnmim:PF6]+ clusters, we extend this work again using TCID and electronic structure theory approaches to include competitive binding studies of three mixed 2 : 1 clusters of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and the hexafluorophosphate anion, [Cn-2mim:PF6:Cnmim]+ for n = 4, 6, and 8. The absolute BDEs of these mixed [Cn-2mim:PF6:Cnmim]+ clusters as well as the absolute difference in the strength of the intrinsic binding interactions as a function of the cation are determined with significantly improved precision. By combining the thermochemical results of the previous independent and present competitive measurements, the BDEs of the [2Cnmim:PF6]+ clusters are both more accurately and more precisely determined. Comparisons are made to results for the analogous [2Cnmim:BF4]+ and [Cn-2mim:BF4:Cnmim]+ clusters previously examined to elucidate the effects of the [PF6]- and [BF4]- anions on the binding.

Abstract
Chiral separation has attracted much attention for basic research and industrial applications in analytical chemistry. Generally, chiral separations use natural or artificial chiral-based materials as adsorbents. To improve the precision and efficiency of chiral separation, focus has shifted from natural and synthetic adsorbents to binary combinations of materials. This review specifically summarizes the significant advancements made in natural and artificial chiral adsorbents as promising candidates for diverse drug and biomolecule separation applications as well as the remaining drawbacks and challenges for research on chiral separations. The mechanisms of chiral-based recognition and separation and history and development of natural and artificial chiral-based systems are the focus of this review. Future directions in natural and artificial chiral-based systems for practical separations and other applications are also presented.

Abstract
Imidazolium-based cations and the hexafluorophosphate anion are among the most commonly used ionic liquids (ILs). Yet, the nature and strength of the intrinsic cation-anion interactions, and how they influence the macroscopic properties of these ILs are still not well understood. Threshold collision-induced dissociation is utilized to determine the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the 2 : 1 clusters of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and the hexafluorophosphate anion, [2Cnmim:PF6]+. The cation, [Cnmim]+, is varied across the series, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium [C2mim]+, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [C4mim]+, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium [C6mim]+, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium [C8mim]+, to examine the structural and energetic effects of the size of the 1-alkyl substituent of the cation on the binding to [PF6]-. Complementary electronic structure methods are employed for the [Cnmim]+ cations, (Cnmim:PF6) ion pairs, and [2Cnmim:PF6]+ clusters to elucidate details of the cation-anion interactions and their impact on structure and energetics. Multiple levels of theory are benchmarked with the measured BDEs including B3LYP, B3LYP-GD3BJ, and M06-2X each with the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set for geometry optimizations and frequency analyses and the 6-311+G(2d,2p) basis set for energetic determinations. The modest structural variation among the [Cnmim]+ cations produces only minor structural changes and variation in the measured BDEs of the [2Cnmim:PF6]+ clusters. Present results are compared to those previously reported for the analogous 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate IL clusters to compare the effects of these anions on the nature and strength of the intrinsic binding interactions.

Abstract
An ionic liquid (IL) 111 column was compared with other commonly employed stationary phases including polydimethyl siloxane and polyethylene glycol for the separation of fatty acid monomethyl and dimethyl esters. The fatty acid esters employed in this study were derived from metathesis reactions of vegetable oils both with and without olefins. The IL 111 column demonstrated enhanced performance compared with conventional columns for the separation of these esters. These advantages included significantly enhanced retention of dimethyl esters relative to monomethyl esters, excellent cis/trans isomer separation and the ability to analyze higher carbon number dimethyl esters. As a result, these columns are highly suited for the analysis of mixtures of mono- and dimethyl fatty acid esters found in lipid metathesis reaction products or to determine monofunctional impurities in samples of commercial dimethyl esters.

Abstract
The experimental values of skin permeability coefficients, required for dermal exposure assessment, are not readily available for many chemicals. The existing estimation approaches are either less accurate or require many parameters that are not readily available. Furthermore, current estimation methods are not easy to apply to complex environmental mixtures. We present two models to estimate the skin permeability coefficients of neutral organic chemicals. The first model, referred to here as the 2-parameter partitioning model (PPM), exploits a linear free energy relationship (LFER) of skin permeability coefficient with a linear combination of partition coefficients for octanol–water and air–water systems. The second model is based on the retention time information of nonpolar analytes on comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC). The PPM successfully explained variability in the skin permeability data (n = 175) with R2 = 0.82 and root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.47 log unit. In comparison, the US-EPA’s model DERMWIN™ exhibited an RMSE of 0.78 log unit. The Zhang model—a 5-parameter LFER equation based on experimental Abraham solute descriptors (ASDs)—performed slightly better with an RMSE value of 0.44 log unit. However, the Zhang model is limited by the scarcity of experimental ASDs. The GC × GC model successfully explained the variance in skin permeability data of nonpolar chemicals (n = 79) with R2 = 0.90 and RMSE = 0.23 log unit. The PPM can easily be implemented in US-EPA’s Estimation Program Interface Suite (EPI Suite™). The GC × GC model can be applied to the complex mixtures of nonpolar chemicals. ![]()

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
We have prepared novel divalent ionic liquids (ILs) based on the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion where two charged imidazolium groups in the cations are either directly bound to each other or linked by a single atom. We assessed the influence of the side-chain functionality and divalency on their physical properties and on the thermodynamics of mixing. The results indicate that shortening the spacer of a divalent IL reduces its thermal stability and increases its viscosity. Mixtures of divalent and monovalent ILs show small but significant deviations from ideality upon mixing. These deviations appear to depend primarily on the (mis)match of the nature and length of the cation side-chain. The non-ideality imposed by mixing ILs with different side-chains appears to be enhanced by the increase in formal charge of the cations in the mixture.

Abstract
Ionic liquid (IL) development efforts have focused on achieving desired properties via tuning of the IL through variation of the cations and anions. However, works geared toward a microscopic understanding of the nature and strength of the intrinsic cation-anion interactions of ILs have been rather limited such that the intrinsic strength of the cation-anion interactions in ILs is largely unknown. In previous work, we employed threshold collision-induced dissociation approaches supported and enhanced by electronic structure calculations to characterize the nature of the cation-anion interactions in and determine the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of a series of four 2:1 clusters of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and tetrafluoroborate anions, [2Cnmim:BF4]+. The cation was varied over the series: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C2mim]+, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C4mim]+, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C6mim]+, and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium, [C8mim]+, to determine the structural and energetic effects of the size of the 1-alkyl substituent on the binding. The variation in the strength of binding determined for these [2Cnmim:BF4]+ clusters was found to be similar in magnitude to the average experimental uncertainty in these determinations. To definitively establish an absolute order of binding among these [2Cnmim:BF4]+ clusters, we extend this work here to include competitive binding studies of three mixed 2:1 clusters of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and tetrafluoroborate anions, [Cn-2mim:BF4:Cnmim]+ for n = 4, 6, and 8. Importantly, the results of the present work simultaneously provide the absolute BDEs of these mixed [Cn-2mim:BF4:Cnmim]+ clusters and the absolute relative order of the intrinsic binding interactions as a function of the cation with significantly improved precision. Further, by combining the thermochemical results of the previous and present studies, the BDEs of the [2Cnmim:BF4]+ clusters are more accurately and precisely determined.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have become increasingly popular due to their useful and unique properties, yet there are still many unanswered questions regarding their fundamental interactions. In particular, details regarding the nature and strength of the intrinsic cation-anion interactions and how they influence the macroscopic properties of ILs are still largely unknown. Elucidating the molecular-level details of these interactions is essential to the development of better models for describing ILs and enabling the purposeful design of ILs with properties tailored for specific applications. Current uses of ILs are widespread and diverse and include applications for energy storage, electrochemistry, designer/green solvents, separations, and space propulsion. To advance the understanding of the energetics, conformations, and dynamics of gas-phase IL clustering relevant to space propulsion, threshold collision-induced dissociation approaches are used to measure the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the 2:1 clusters of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and tetrafluoroborate, [2Cnmim:BF4]+. The cation, [Cnmim]+, is varied across the series, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium [C2mim]+, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [C4mim]+, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium [C6mim]+, and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium [C8mim]+, to examine the structural and energetic effects of the size of the 1-alkyl substituent on binding. Complementary electronic structure calculations are performed to determine the structures and energetics of the [Cnmim]+ and [BF4]- ions and their binding preferences in the (Cnmim:BF4) ion pairs and [2Cnmim:BF4]+ clusters. Several levels of theory, B3LYP, B3LYP-GD3BJ, and M06-2X, using the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set for geometry optimizations and frequency analyses and the 6-311+G(2d,2p) basis set for energetics, are benchmarked to examine their abilities to properly describe the nature of the binding interactions and to reproduce the measured BDEs. The modest structural variation among these [Cnmim]+ cations produces only minor structural changes and variation in the measured BDEs of the [2Cnmim:BF4]+ clusters. Present findings indicate that the dominant cation-anion interactions involve the 3-methylimidazolium moieties and that these clusters are sufficiently small that differences in packing effects associated with the variable length of the 1-alkyl substituents are not yet significant.

Abstract
A series of silica-supported polymeric ionic liquid (PIL)-based stationary phases derived from a vinylic L-valine ionic liquid monomer and divinylbenzene (DVB) as the crosslinking agent have been prepared and studied as gas chromatographic stationary phases. These coated gas chromatographic columns exhibited good thermal stabilities (230-300 °C) and high efficiencies (1700-2700 plates/m), and were characterized using a linear solvation parameter model in order to understand the effects of the amount of DVB on the features of the resulting composite systems. Their retention behavior and separation efficiencies were demonstrated using the Grob test. By tuning the crosslinking degree for the IL-derived stationary phase, the separation selectivity and resolution of different compounds were improved. The different retention behaviors observed for many analytes indicate that these stationary phases may be applicable as new types of GC stationary phases.

Abstract
The paper presents a parallel micro gas chromatography approach using three ionic liquid semipacked columns. Switching from single column to multiple parallel columns with different selectivity enhances the power of compound identification without increasing the analysis time. The columns are fabricated using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology containing an array of microfabricated pillars. The columns are 1 m-long and 240 μm-deep with four pillars per row. All columns were functionalized with ionic liquid stationary phases using a modified static coating technique and demonstrated the number of theoretical plates between 5000 and 8300 per meter. The chip performance was investigated with four different samples: (1) a mixture of C7-C30 saturated alkanes, (2) a multianalyte mixture consisting of 20 compounds ranging from 80 to 238 °C in boiling point, (3) a mixture of five organic chemicals with varying degrees of polarity, and (4) 46-compounds mixture containing all the chemicals in the first three samples. The individual columns separated 75%-100% of the first three samples but failed to distinguish all 46 compounds due to coeluting analytes; however, the parallel configuration provided more retention time information by which all the compounds in all samples were fully determined.

Abstract
Gas chromatographic columns based on ionic liquids (ILs) are very promising since the selectivity of these columns can be tuned by both the cation and the anion chemical nature. In this paper, efficiencies of capillary columns based on four phosphonium ionic liquids were studied. The performance of seven columns containing the cation trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium and the anions bromide, chloride, and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide was evaluated by measuring the solute band broadening as a function of gas velocities at three temperatures. Hence, classical height equivalent to a theoretical plate (H) against gas velocity (u) plots corresponding to those columns were generated and the data were fitted to the Golay-Guiochon equation with the aim of seeking the optimum conditions to be operated each of them. Band broadening at practical gas velocities is mainly due to poor mass transfer properties of solutes in the (viscous) liquid phases, which limits the achieved efficiencies. These H/u plots proved to be necessary to characterize the column quality at a given temperature, to interpret the band broadening phenomena and thus, to establish the lower temperature limits and the expected plate counts at that temperature.

Abstract
Developing highly selective stationary phases is essential to address the issues for separation of analytes with similar properties and various components in complex samples. Herein, we report a new triptycene-based material functionalized with polycaprolactone moieties (TP-PCL) as the stationary phase with high-resolution performance for gas chromatography (GC). The TP-PCL capillary column exhibited column efficiency of 5555 plates/m and moderate polarity. On the column, dozens of mixtures of positional and structural isomers can be well resolved, involving benzene derivatives with varying substituents (alkyl, halo, nitro, hydroxyl, amino), naphthalene derivatives, alkanes and alcohols. It exhibits advantageous performance for high resolution of the critical pairs of alkylbenzenes, phenols, anilines and alkanes over the PCL column and commercial DB-35 MS column with similar polarity. Moreover, the TP-PCL column showed excellent separation repeatability and reproducibility with RSD values of 0.02%-0.07% for run-to-run (n = 4), 0.11%-0.18% for day-to-day (n = 4) and 2.1%-4.7% for column-to-column (n = 4). In addition, it exhibited distinctly enhanced thermal stability in contrast to the PCL column. Its application to analysis of the essential oil from Artemisiae argyi proves its good potential for practical use.
