A statistical study of the correlation between k′ or log k′ and log Pow for a group of benzene and naphthalene derivatives in micellar liquid chromatography using a C-18 column

Abstract

It is shown that the logarithm of the capacity factor (log k′) for fifteen benzene and naphthalene derivatives in micellar liquid chromatography with forty nine different mobile phases generally correlates better with the logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient (log Pow) than the capacity factor (k′). Optimum conditions are established to obtain the best linear correlations of log k′-log Pow.
