Performance and selectivity of lower-rim substituted calix[4]arene as a stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography.

ABSTRACT: This work presents the investigation of p-tert-butyl(tetradecyloxy)calix[4]arene (C4A-C10) as stationary phase for capillary gas chromatographic (GC) separations. The statically-coated C4A-C10 capillary column showed weak polarity and column efficiency of 2566 plates per m determined by n-dodecane at 120 °C. Impressively, the C4A-C10 column exhibited extremely high resolving capability for a wide range of analytes from nonpolar to polar, including n-alkanes, esters, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols and bromoalkanes. Most importantly, the C4A-C10 column exhibited an excellent separation performance for positional, structural and cis-/trans-isomers. Among them, the column displayed advantageous resolving capability over the commercial polysiloxane stationary ph
