Abstract

Reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) capacity factors for a number of organic solutes on a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) bonded phase column in pure water mobile phase (kw) were compared with formation constants of inclusion complexes (kf) between β-CD and the solutes based on the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) in order to understand the types and relative strengths of various intermolecular forces between CD and the guest solute affecting the stability of inclusion complexes and hence retention in RPLC. A close fit of capacity factors (kw) with complexation constants indicated that inclusion complexation is the major driving force in retention on the β-CD-bonded phase in RPLC. Comparison of LSERs for Kf and kw showed that an increasing guest molecular size stabilizes the complex by virtue of increasing dispersive interactions between the hydrophobic interior of CD cavity and the guest and hence increases the RPLC retention, and that increasing guest dipolarity and hydrogen bond (HB) acceptor basicity lead to a decrease in the stability of the complex due to the stronger dipolar and HB interactions with water, and hence decrease the retention.

      Insignificant terms are also indicated in QSRR equations reported by Sandi et al. [114]. Sometimes the lack of significance of individual LSER descriptors is evident because the standard deviations of regression coefficients are relatively large (e.g., the standard deviation of the coefficient at ∑π∗ in Eq. (3) in Ref. [115] is ±0.19, whereas the regression coefficient itself has a value of −0.12). However, in some publications, there is not enough statistical information to draw conclusions on the significance and actual importance of individual LSER parameters in QSRR equations (see Ref. [116] for example).

      The special geometry allows β-CD to form inclusion complexes with guest molecules of appropriate size and shape [14,15]. It is believed that the high adsorption capacity and selectivity for EGCG over the other tea catechins are attributed to the specific interactions between β-CD and EGCG, including β-CD inclusion complexation, hydrogen bond interaction and π–π interaction [27,28]. Compared with the poor adsorption capacities for tea catechins from the activated silica and GOPS-silica particles, the dramatic improvement in those from the β-CD bonded silica adsorbent proved that the successful grafting of β-CD on GOPS-silica particles.
