Popis: An ultra-long (5 m) open tubular capillary liquid chromatographic column was prepared by incorporating Metal Organic Framework (MOF), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), directly into polymer coating, which was synthesized by the copolymerization of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride and divinylbenzene, on the capillary inner surface. The prepared ZIF-8 incorporate polymeric open tubular capillary column (denoted as ZIF-8-p(VBC/DVB) OTCC) was evaluated with thiourea, alkylbenzenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as probe molecules. The results showed that the ultra-long column achieved absolute column efficiency of 130,000 plates for thiourea, and the incorporation of ZIF-8 effectively improved the chromatography performance of the OTCC. Baseline separation of aromatic compounds and position isomers was achieved based on multiple interactions provided by the zeolitic imidazolate framework and polymer, including hydrophobic interaction, π-π stacking interaction and the coordination effect. The RSD values (run-to-run, day-to-day, column-to-column, n = 3) of retention time of phenylenediamine isomers and propylbenzene isomers were less than 0.7%, 1.2% and 4.0% respectively, suggesting excellent repeatability. Finally, the prepared ZIF-8-p(VBC/DVB) OTCC was applied to the separation of hydroxyacetophenone isomers with satisfied results.
