Boron Isotope Fractionation in Liquid-Chromatography with Boron-Specific Resins as Column Packing Material
Boron-specific resins with n-methyl glucamine as the functional group were used as column packing material of liquid chromatography for boron isotope separation. The shapes of chromatograms in reverse breakthrough experiments were heavily dependent on the pH of the eluents, and there existed a pH value at which a chromatogram of the displacement type was realized nearly ideally. The value of the single-stage separation factor for the boron isotopes varied between 1.010 and 1.022, depending on the temperature and the form of the resins, The existence of the three-coordinate boron species in addition to the four-coordinate species in the resin phase is suggested.
