Abstract
Cyanobiphenyl-mesogened liquid crystalline polymer is bonded on silica by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization and is used as the stationary phase for liquid chromatography. Various instrumental analyses such as elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used for its characterization. The stationary phase exhibits multiple characteristics of low hydrophobicity, low hydrophobic selectivity, polarity recognition and shape selectivity in the separation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and polar neural aromatic compounds. Temperature and mobile phase composition were confirmed to have effects on the chromatographic behavior. Isomers of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and carotenes are well separated on the stationary phase.

Notes
“12.01”, “1.01”, “86.21”, “150.0”, “14.01”, “419.6” are the atomic/molecular weight of carbon atom, hydrogen atom, APS molecular fragment, BiBB molecular fragment and 11-(4′-Cyanophenyl-4″-phenoxy)undecyl acrylate, respectively. For each equation, the expression up the slash on the left stands for the mass of the element which matches the content on the right (see Table 1, elemental analysis) and the expression for division is the mass of the modified silica.
