Abstract

Crosslinked polymethylphenylsiloxanes that are suitable as adsorbents for gas-solid chromatography have been prepared. These new materials are characterized and evaluated as chromatographic supports. Their chromatographic properties are compared to OV-17, a linear polymethylphenylsiloxane, often used as a liquid phase in gas-liquid chromatography. Scanning electron micrographs show that the materials resemble agglomerates of tiny spheres. The materials have surface areas around 5 m 2/g and are thermally stable up to 350°. Small, polar compounds are eluted very early in columns prepared with these adsorbents in a manner similar to macroporous polymers like the Porapaks. Separations of chlorinated benzenes and phenols at temperatures up to 270° are shown.
