Burcinova A, Stulik K, Pacakova V: High-performance liquid chromatography of azobenzene derivatives with spectrophotometric and electrochemical detection. J Chromatogr. 1987 Mar 13;389(2):397-407.
The chromatographic behaviour of azobenzene and fourteen of its derivatives was studied by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with a C18 stationary phase. The optimal composition of the mobile phase is 9:1 methanol-0.01 M aqueous sodium dihydrogen phosphate which is 0.0002 M in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, with a pH of 4.5. The solutes can be detected spectrophotometrically, voltammetrically or polarographically. Spectrophotometric measurement in the visible range is more sensitive than in the UV range (detection limits of 0.04-0.1 ng at 410 nm compared with 0.3-0.5 ng at 265 nm). Voltammetric detection is highly sensitive for hydroxy and amino derivatives [detection limits 0.02-0.09 ng at +0.8 V (Ag-AgCl)], whereas for other substances the detection limits are a few nanograms. Polarographic detection is the least sensitive [detection limits 4-8 ng at -0.6 V (Ag-AgCl)]. All the calibration graphs exhibit good linearity, but spectrophotometric detection yields a wider linear dynamic range. Voltammetric detection is more precise at low solute concentrations (relative standard deviations of the peak heights 0.5-1.0% and 1.0-1.5% for voltammetric and spectrophotometric detection, respectively, with amounts of solute from 1 to 10 ng). |
