Nitro- and fluoro-substituted tetraphenyl–phenyl grafted polysiloxanes as stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography

This work reports the synthesis of 2,5-di(4-nitrophenyl)-3,4-di(3,5-difluorophenyl)phenyl grafted polysiloxane (NDPP; containing 12.4% 2,5-di(4-nitrophenyl)-3,4-di(3,5-difluorophenyl)phenyl groups) for gas-chromatography (GC) separation.
