We demonstrate a facile and versatile method to grow Ru particles uniformly on pristine few-layer graphene (FLG) in supercritical diethylamine. In particular, a large number of Ru subnanometer clusters less than 1.0 nm were observed. The particle size can be tuned by manipulating the loading content of Ru and controlling the reaction temperature. The resulting Ru/FLG showed remarkably high activity, selectivity, and reusability towards the hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone. This method is flexible, and can be extended to the synthesis of a variety of other ultrafine metal particles supported on FLG.

In the last decade, the separation application based on aromatic stationary phases has been demonstrated in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). In this paper, four aromatic stationary phases involving aniline (S-aniline), 1-aminonaphthalene (S-1-ami-naph), 1-aminoanthracene (S-1-ami-anth) and 1-aminopyrene (S-1-ami-py) were synthesized based on full porous particles (FPP) silica, which were not end-capped for providing extra electrostatic interaction. Retention mechanism of these phases in SFC was investigated using a linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) model.

Supercritical fluid chromatography based on reversed-phase/ ion chromatography mixed-mode stationary phase for separation of spirooxindole alkaloids.

J Chromatogr A

August 2023

Engineering Research Center of Pharmaceutical Process Chemistry, Ministry of Education, School of Pharmacy, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai 200237, PR China. Electronic address:

The present paper illustrates the versatility of the supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) since, for the first time, four spirooxindole alkaloids (SOAs) including two pairs of isomers were separated by using two types of reversed-phase/ ion chromatography (RP/IC) mixed-mode stationary phases. Two mixed-mode stationary phases (C8SAX and C8SCX) was simultaneously provided dispersive and electrostatic interactions, which were suitable for the separation of such alkaloids. This study tried to provide an in-depth understanding of the SFC separation mechanism of the mixed-mode stationary phase through investigation of the impact of changes in mobile phase composition on alkaloids' retention behavior.
