Two open-tubular (OT) capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) columns were prepared by chemically bonding ionizable mono-(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl) succinate (MES) and phthalate-functionalized (MEP) ligands onto silica hydride-based phases through surface etching, silanization, and hydrosilation reactions, starting with a bare fused-silica tube. An analysis of the effect of performance of electrophoretic flow (EOF) on the changes in pH values, ionic strength, and the amount of acetonitrile modifiers helped to reveal that some silanol groups remained in the surface composite of the modified capillaries and to prove that MEP capillaries actually exerted greater EOF than MES ones. To explore the potential utilization of these two columns in various fields, three categories of samples, which spanned a wide range of polarities, were prepared and analyzed through many systematic trials of optimizing CEC conditions. For the separation of a mixture of nucleosides and thymine, guanine and adenine with purine uncleobases, which exhibit greater aromaticity than pyrimidine nucleobases, performed a higher retention in the MEP capillary through a π–π interaction than in the MES capillary. While four steroids were used as test samples, their migration order revealed that the MES stationary phase is hydrophilic in comparison with the MEP. An addition of methanol modifier (30%, v/v) into 10 mM borate buffer (pH 9.55 for MEP; pH 10.0 for MES) was necessary to accomplish a baseline separation of nine flavonoids in the MEP and MES capillaries. Studies on the elution order of these solutes revealed the presence of chromatographic activity in addition to electrophoretic migration. Especially in the MEP capillary, hydrophobic characteristics and π–π interactions with aromatic solutes were found and further improved to resolve an enantiomeric pair, catechin and epicatechin. Overall, the hydride-based stationary phases with ionizable ligands were successfully applied to the OT-CEC separations, and these results confidently propose an ideal route to the synthesis of a novel OT-CEC column.
