hydrophobicity to PFP separation!
Increased retention and improved durability
Compared to PFP, PFP & C18 has the same stereoselectivity, but the hydrophobicity is greatly increased and the retention time is extended. PFP & C18 has achieved the same separation as that of PFP, such as the separation of fluorobenzenes.
Hydrogen bond (Caffeine/Phenol) | Hydrophobicity (Amylbenzene/Butylbenzene) | Steric selectivity (Triphenylene/o-Terphenyl) | |
PFP | 1.00 | 1.31 | 2.38 |
PFP&C18 | 1.00 | 1.47 | 2.64 |
C18 | 0.39 | 1.60 | 1.46 |
Conditions for durability testing
Conditions for measuring theoretical plates
Due to the increased hydrophobicity of the surface, the durability of PFP & C18 is approximately three times that of conventional PFP.
