A new amide-functionalized silica stationary phase, Supercosil ABZ(+)
Plus, suitable for reversed phase HPLC applications, was characterized
by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), solid-state Si-29 and C-13
CP/MAS NMR and FTIR. The degree of hydration of this material was fou
nd to be much higher compared to amide-functionalized silica phases pr
epared by acid chloride treatment of aminopropylsilylated silica repor
ted earlier and also compared to conventional C-18 reversed phase colu
mns. The liquid chromatographic performance of this ABZ(+) Plus column
was found to be superior to the C-18 columns, especially for polar an
alytes. The enhanced selectivity and better peak shape with this ABZ() Plus material was attributed to greater compositional differences be
tween the surface and mobile phases coupled with more effective shield
ing of residual silanols and a more oriented alkyl chain structure.
