Porous liquids (PLs), as a new class of porous materials with permanent porosity and liquid fluidity, have attracted extensive research interest due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Herein, we synthesized a chiral porous liquid D-his-ZIF-8-[Bpy][NTf₂] based on a metal-organic framework (MOF) and used it as a new stationary phase to investigate its separation performance by high-resolution gas chromatography. The porosity of this porous liquid system was verified through Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and positron (e⁺) annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). The results showed that the D-his-ZIF-8-[Bpy][NTf₂] coated capillary column (column A) exhibited excellent separation performance for n-alkanes, n-alcohols, alkylbenzens, isomers, and racemic compounds. Among them, fifteen pairs of enantiomers including alcohols, esters, epoxides, ketones, haloalkanes, and amino acid derivatives were well separated on column A with good reproducibility and stability. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the retention time and peak area of two analytes (3-butyne-2-ol and dichlorobenzene) were <1.80% and 0.80%, respectively. By comparing the chiral recognition ability of D-his-ZIF-8-[Bpy][NTf₂] coated column A with D-his-ZIF-8 coated column B, the column A has better separation efficiency for chiral compounds than column B. In addition, the chiral recognition ability of column A is complementary to that of commercially available β-DEX 120 column (column C). Compared with the commercial HP-35 column and the previously reported P5A-C10–2NH₂ column for the separation of organic mixtures and/or isomers, column A exhibits similar separation performance and has a good separation complementarity to these two columns. Hence, this work opens up a new way for the practical application of porous framework solid materials in gas chromatography.
