---Ligand mobility of silica-based HPLC stationary phases modified by various surface coverages of acridine-9-carboxy(N-aminoethylaminopropyl)amide ligands was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements, as well as solid-state 13C-CP/MAS- and 1H-MAS-NMR spectroscopy. Rotational correlation times, τR, of the bound acridine fluorophore obtained from fluorescence anisotropy measurements are significantly longer in the bound phase, than in solution. Also, in time-resolved experiments anisotropies do not decay to zero. These results are interpreted in terms of wobble-in-cone ligand motion. The mobility of the fluorophore in the presence of liquid phase correlates strongly with the solubility of the model compound acridine-9-carboxy-n-butylamide in the same solvent. In the good solvent acetonitrile τR = 3.2 ns is found, whereas in methanol, τR 〉 80 ns is obtained. NMR measurements of the dry phase yield large linewidths, cross polarization constants, TCH, and spin-lattice relaxation times, T1ρH, shifting around the minimum in the correlation time curve. Both fluorescence and NMR data indicate medium to low ligand mobility. No difference in the mobilities of alkyl spacer and aromatic group is observed, probably due to the rigidity of the amide group.
