A composition includes a hybrid ligand. The hybrid ligand includes an amine group, an amide group or a sulfonamide group, and hydroxyl groups. A first method includes providing a solution containing a first polar analyte and a second polar analyte, applying the solution to a stationary phase including an immobilized hybrid ligand, applying an elution solvent to the stationary phase such that the first polar analyte and the second polar analyte pass through the stationary phase with different elution times, and collecting the first polar analyte at a first elution time and collecting the second polar analyte at a second elution time after the first elution time. A device of a packed column, a cartridge, a tube, a well plate, a membrane, or a planar thin-layer chromatography plate includes a solid support and a hybrid ligand coupled to the solid support. A second method forms an immobilized hybrid ligand.

Methods, compositions, devices and kits having a novel chromatographic material are provided herein for separating and identifying organic molecules and compounds, for example molecules and compounds containing electron rich functional groups such as carbon-carbon double bonds. The methods, compositions, and kits include a metal-thiolate chromatographic medium (MTCM) with a sulfur-containing functional group or a metal-selenolate chromatographic medium (MSCM) comprising a selenium-containing functional group covalently attached to a support medium, such that the sulfur-containing functional group or selenium-containing functional group is bound to at least one metal atom. The MTCM and/or MSCM has affinity and specificity to compounds having one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and performs a highly efficient and rapid separation of samples yielding non-overlapping peaks of purified materials compared to traditional media.

A method is provided for strongly immobilizing a ligand by inactivating an excess formyl group. Methods are also provided for immobilizing a ligand on a formyl group-containing insoluble base material, where the ligand has a specific affinity for a target compound and also has an amino group. The methods comprise the steps of mixing the ligand with the formyl group-containing insoluble base material to form an imine, and reducing the imine by using two or more kinds of reducing agents.
