In this paper, separations of organic compounds, such as, n-alkanes, a
lcohols, ethyl asters of C-1-C-8 carboxylic acid, halogen derivatives,
position-isomers of the replacement aromatic hydrocarbon, optical iso
mers of ethyl lactate and isoamyl alcohol, etc. were studied using 4'-
cholestenoxycarbonyl-benzo-15-crown-5 liquid crystal crown ether (CH-B
-15-C-5) as stationary phase in gas-solid chromatography (GSC), genera
l gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and crown ether liquid crystal gas-l
iquid chromatography (CL-GLC). Also, the chromatographic characteristi
cs, such as the chemical stability, thermal stability, selectivity, po
larity and operating temperature range, of the CH-B-15-C-5 as stationa
ry phase for GSC, GLC and CL-GLC systems were studied. The results sho
wed that the polarity of this chromatographic column is mean-weak. the
chemical and thermal stabilities and the selectivity are good and the
operating temperature range is wide. The results of separations of or
ganic compounds are satisfactory. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All r
