Eluent Additives Buffer components: Salt, Acid Retention of Basic Compounds in a Low pH Region is Affected by Salt Concentration and Type of Acid • Basic compounds that are fully ionized have a low retention. • Goal is to increase basic analyte retention in a low pH region. • The addition of various acids and salts to the mobile phase may effect the retention of protonated basic analytes.

  14. Schematic of Chaotropic Process

  15. Chaotropic Counteranions • Characteristics of a chaotropic counteranion • -Anion of less localized charge • - High Polarizability • -Low degree of hydration • -Greater disorder • Type of chaotropic counteranions • -Inorganic and organic ions • -Phosphate, Perchlorate, Trifluoroacetate • - PF6, BF4, CCl3CO2-, CF3CO2-

  16. Anionic Chaotropes in Reversed Phase HPLC • Basic analyte must be fully ionized in order to ensure electrostatic interaction with anionic chaotrope. • Effects retention of Basic Analytes. • Hydrogen bonding between water molecules disrupted. • Decrease in solvation of protonated basic analyte since hydration shield around protonated analyte becomes less structured. • Facilitate the approach and increased interaction of the analyte to the stationary phase. • Retention generally increases with increase in counteranion concentration. • Changes in selectivity may be observed.

  30. Conclusion The type and concentration of chaotropic counteranions in the mobile phase can increase the retention of protonated basic analytes by disruption of the analyte solvation shell and increase the analyte hydrophobicity. A basic compound must be protonated in order for ion association with the chaotropic counteranion to occur. This increase in analyte retention is not a pH dependent process. The chaotropic approach for use in HPLC method development has been shown to be beneficial for the development of fast and efficient separation methods. Combination of the ionization effect and the chaotropic influence on the analyte retention gives the chromatographer the flexibility for selectivity adjustment in HPLC separations.
