Summary
Glass surface alkylation with pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) bromide yields glass capillary gas chromatographic columns with modified retention characteristics. Glass-alkylated OV-225 columns have been tested in the analysis of PFB fluoroacetate, and the substantial increase in retention time of this highly volatile compound was found to improve the precision of analysis. PFB-alkylated columns should prove generally useful in gas chromatographic analysis of small relative molecular mass compounds.
