Abstract
The 2018 Farm Bill defines marijuana as Cannabis sativa L. or any derivative thereof that contains greater than 0.3% Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) on a dry weight basis. The main cannabinoids present in Cannabis sativa L., Δ9-THC and cannabidiol (CBD), are structural isomers that cannot be differentiated using direct mass spectrometry with soft ionization techniques alone. Due to the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, the differentiation of Δ9-THC and CBD is crucial within the seized drug community. This study explores the use of Ag-ligand ion complexation and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) for the differentiation of Δ9-THC and CBD using six different Ag complexes. Differences between the binding affinities of Δ9-THC and CBD for [Ag(PPh3)(OTf)]2 lead to the formation of unique product ions at m/z 421/423, m/z 353/355, and m/z 231 for CBD, enabling the differentiation of CBD from Δ9-THC. When applied to the analysis of known Δ9-THC:CBD mixture ratios, the developed [Ag(PPh3)(OTf)]2 ion complexation method was able to differentiate Δ9-THC-rich and CBD-rich samples based on the average abundance of the product ions at m/z 421/423. The developed approach was then applied to methanolic extracts of 20 authentic cannabis samples with known Δ9-THC and CBD compositions, resulting in a 95% correct classification rate. Even though the developed Ag-ligand ion complexation method was only demonstrated for the qualitative differentiation of Δ9-THC-rich and CBD-rich cannabis, this study establishes a foundation for the use of Ag-ligand ion complexation that is essential for future quantitative approaches.

Eor P, Tryon-Tasson N, Anderson JL. Elucidating the role of temperature and water on the π-complexation strength of copper(I) ion-containing ionic liquids using inverse gas chromatography. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1287:342021. [PMID: 38182360 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The π-complexation capability of copper(I) ion has been exploited in olefin/paraffin separations, but its propensity of undergoing disproportionation to copper(II) ion and copper metal has limited its use. Imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) can serve as solvents for copper(I) ions as they facilitate copper(I) ion-olefin complexation and can enhance its stability. To precisely monitor how copper(I) ions complex with olefins in ILs and evaluate the effects of environmental factors, it is necessary to construct an experimental platform capable of quantitatively measuring their molecular-level interactions. RESULTS This study employs an innovative inverse chromatography platform to measure changes in molecular-level interactions between copper(I) ions and olefins when the temperature and water content in the system are carefully controlled. Gas chromatographic stationary phases comprised of the 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([C10MIM+][NTf2-]) IL containing 0.5 M [Cu+][NTf2-] were pre-heated to 140 °C maximizing copper(I) ion's π-complexation capability. The chromatographic retention of alkenes, dienes, and alkynes on the copper(I) ion/IL stationary phase was observed to be predominantly influenced by their partitioning between the carrier gas and copper(I) ion as well as between the IL and copper(I) ion. Upon introducing water to the system, the Gibbs free energy of solvation for olefins showed less favorable solvation into the stationary phase. In contrast, their solvation was significantly enhanced when the [Cu+][NTf2-]/[C10MIM+][NTf2-] stationary phase was heated to an elevated temperature, indicating that the π-complexation capability of copper(I) ion can be regenerated as needed. SIGNIFICANCE This study demonstrates that the stability of copper(I) ions can be improved by dissolving them into appropriate IL solvents. Moreover, the olefin separation performance of the copper(I) ion/IL stationary phase was found to be adjustable by the application of different column treatment conditions (i.e., heating and water introduction), opening the possibility of devising more stable, reliable, and efficient olefin separation systems based on copper(I) ion and IL solvents.

Abstract
Selective π-complexation capabilities of silver(I) and copper(I) ions can be effectively facilitated in ionic liquids. To understand the effects of environmental factors that influence the π-complexation of these metal ions with analytes, techniques that employ small volumes of ionic liquid that can be readily analyzed are desired. In this study, headspace single drop microextraction coupled with HPLC is used to investigate a diverse set of environmental factors on the metal ion-mediated complexation with aromatic compounds in ionic liquid media. Silver(I) and copper(I) bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide salts were both studied by dissolving them in the 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ionic liquid and employing the mixture as extraction media for aromatic compounds. Water and acetonitrile within the sample solution were observed to interfere with the complexation of silver(I) ions and aromatic compounds, while ethylene glycol and triethylene glycol did not. The temperature and extraction times were optimized to fully facilitate the π-complexation capabilities of metal ions in ionic liquid media. Partition coefficients between the sample headspace and metal ion were determined using a three-phase equilibria model. Although no discernable difference in analyte partitioning between the headspace and ionic liquid solvent was observed, analyte partition coefficients to silver(I) ion tended to be greater compared to copper(I) ion.

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
Silver(I) ions have been used in various studies as components within polymer membranes or ionic liquids (ILs) to enable separation of olefins from paraffins. Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) are a class of polymers synthesized from IL monomers and typically possess higher thermal and chemical stability than the ILs from which they are formed. Until now, very little is known about the difference in strength of silver(I) ion-olefin interactions when they take place in an IL compared to a PIL. In this work, the chromatographic separation of olefins by stationary phases composed of silver(I) bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([Ag+][NTf2-]) incorporated into the 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium NTf2 ([HMIM+][NTf2-]) IL and poly(1-hexyl-3-vinylimidazolium NTf2) (poly([HVIM+][NTf2-])) PIL at varying concentrations was investigated. Olefins were more highly retained by silver(I) ions in PILs than in ILs as the silver(I) salt concentration in the stationary was increased. The potential separation power of silver(I)-containing IL and PIL stationary phases in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) was compared to the conventional one-dimensional system. The separation selectivity of alkenes and alkynes from paraffins was significantly increased, while dienes and aromatic compounds showed insignificant changes in retention. The chemical structural features of IL and PIL that enhance silver(I) ion stability and olefin separation were investigated by using silver(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate ([Ag+][OTf-]), 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium NTf2 ([DMIM+][NTf2-]) IL, poly(1-decyl-3-vinylimidazolium NTf2 (poly([DVIM+][NTf2-])) PIL, [HMIM+][OTf-] IL and poly([HVIM+][OTf-]) PIL. Longer alkyl substituents appended to the IL (and PIL) cation increased the strength of silver(I) olefin interaction, and [OTf-] anions in the IL (and PIL) tended to preserve silver(I) ion from thermal reduction, while also retaining olefins less than the [NTf2-]-containing columns. In general, silver(I) ions in PILs possessing analogous chemical structures to ILs exhibited higher silver(I) ion-olefin interaction strength but were less thermally stable.

Abstract
Silver(I) ions have the propensity of undergoing reduction to form metallic silver within olefin/paraffin separation systems when they are subjected to hydrogen at elevated temperatures. Ionic liquids (ILs) are versatile solvents known for their low vapor pressure, high thermal stability, and structural tunability and have been shown to minimize hydrogen-induced reduction of silver(I) ions when employed as solvents. In the development of robust separation platforms that employ silver(I) ions, it is essential to deploy reliable approaches capable of measuring and assessing the factors that lower the overall separation performance. In this study, silver(I) ions dissolved in an imidazolium-based IL are subjected to mixed gas streams composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, and methane under varying temperatures. Using inverse gas chromatography, a total of 44 columns with stationary phases containing four different concentrations of silver(I) bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([Ag+][NTf2 -]) dissolved in the 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C10MIM+]) [NTf2 -] IL were used to measure partition coefficients of olefins and paraffins, as well as aromatics, esters, and ketones. Upon exposing the stationary phases to mixed gases at elevated temperatures, olefin partitioning between the silver(I) ion pseudophase and the two other phases (i.e., carrier gas and IL stationary phase) was observed to decrease over time, while partitioning between the IL stationary phase and carrier gas remained unchanged. It was found that exposure gases composed of 5.0 to 85.0 mol % hydrogen and temperatures ranging from 95 to 130 °C resulted in a remarkable acceleration of silver(I) ion reduction and an approximate 36.4-61.3% decrease in olefin partitioning between the silver(I) ion pseudophase and both the carrier gas and IL stationary phase after 60 h. While binary mixtures of hydrogen and nitrogen resulted in a continuous decrease in silver(I) ion-olefin complexation capability, a ternary gas mixture produced varied silver(I) ion reduction kinetics.

Abstract
The olefin/paraffin selectivity offered by ionic liquid (IL) stationary phases can be enhanced through the addition of silver(I) ion, which is well-known to undergo selective complexation with unsaturated compounds. However, such stationary phases often suffer from the loss of chromatographic selectivity as silver(I) ion can be reduced to elemental silver. To maintain the separation performance of silver(I) ion/IL stationary phases, an understanding of factors and conditions that promote the reduction of silver(I) ion is needed. In this study, capillary gas chromatography columns featuring a stationary phase consisting of the 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([C10MIM+][NTf2-]) IL impregnated with [Ag+][NTf2-] were examined to investigate the effects of temperature, hydrogen content in exposure gas stream, and time of heating/exposure events on olefin selectivity. Retention factors of representative analytes, such as C6 olefins and paraffins as well as aromatic compounds, were measured after subjecting the columns to the aforementioned conditions, followed by an evaluation of selectivity factors over time. Selectivity factors of olefins and aromatic compounds were observed to decrease significantly when the stationary phases were heated to temperatures higher than 110°C as well as being subjected to mixed gas streams containing greater than 50 mol% of hydrogen. As constant column heating temperatures were applied under exposure gas mixtures containing hydrogen and nitrogen, a gradual decrease in analyte selectivity factors was observed under prolonged periods of time. However, application of a ternary gas mixture comprised of 25/50/25 mol% hydrogen/nitrogen/methane resulted in an increase in the 3-hexyne/cis-2-hexene selectivity when measured at 120°C for 60 h, due to a smaller decrease in the retention factor of 3-hexyne compared to cis-2-hexene.

Abstract
Separation of olefins from their paraffin analogs relies on energy-intensive cryogenic distillation. Facilitated transport-based membranes that reversibly and selectively bind olefins, but not paraffins, could save considerable amounts of energy. However, the chemical instability of the silver ion olefin-binding carriers in such membranes has been a longstanding roadblock for this approach. We discovered long-term carrier stability against extended exposure to hydrogen, a common contaminant in such streams. Based on UV/Vis absorption and Raman spectroscopy, along with XRD analysis results, certain ionic liquids solubilize silver ions, and anion aggregates surrounding the silver ion carriers greatly attenuate their reduction by hydrogen. Here, we report the stability of olefin/paraffin separation properties under continuous exposure to high pressure hydrogen, which addresses a critical technical roadblock in membrane-based olefin/paraffin separation.

Abstract
Silver(I) ions undergo selective olefin complexation and have been utilized in various olefin/paraffin separation techniques such as argentation chromatography and facilitated transport membranes. Ionic liquids (ILs) are solvents known for their low vapor pressure, high thermal stability, low melting points, and ability to promote a favorable solvation environment for silver(I) ion-olefin interactions. To develop highly selective separation systems, a fundamental understanding of analyte partitioning to the stationary phase and the thermodynamic driving forces behind solvation is required. In this study, a chromatographic model treating silver(I) ions as a pseudophase is constructed and employed for the first time to investigate the olefin separation mechanism in silver(I) salt/IL mixtures. Stationary phases containing varying amounts of noncoordinated silver(I) salt ([Ag+][NTf2-]) dissolved in the 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([C10MIM+][NTf2-]) IL are utilized to determine the partition coefficients of various analytes including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, aldehyde, esters, and ketones. As ligand coordination to silver(I) ions is known to lower its olefin complexation capability, this study also examines two different types of coordinated silver(I) ion pseudophases, namely, monocoordinated silver(I) salt ([Ag+(1-decyl-2-methylimidazole, DMIM)][NTf2-]) and dicoordinated silver(I) salt ([Ag+(1-methylimidazole, MIM)(DMIM)][NTf2-]). The extent of olefin partitioning to the coordinated silver(I) ion pseudophases over the carrier gas and IL decreased by up to two orders of magnitude. Values for enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of solvation were determined for the three silver(I) ion-containing systems. Olefin retention was observed to be enthalpically dominated, while ligand coordination to the silver(I) ion pseudophase resulted in variations for both enthalpic and entropic contributions to the free energy of solvation. The developed model can be used to study chemical changes that occur in silver(I) ions over time as well as identify optimal silver(I) salt/IL mixtures that yield high olefin selectivity.
