Abstract
A comprehensive two-dimensional reversed-phase reversed-phase liquid chromatographic system for the separation of a complex mixture of oligostyrenes was developed using results from a previous theoretical assessment of the informational similarity, percent synentropy, orthogonality and peak capacity of hypothetically coupled systems. The degree of sample attribute order in the first separation dimension was also used in the development of the experimental two-dimensional system. A C18(methanol)/CCZ(acetonitrile) two-dimensional system was chosen for the comprehensive analysis of the oligostyrene mixtures because this system had the lowest solute crowding, highest orthogonality and was observed to have order with respect to a sample attribute in the first separation dimension. The separations achieved were in full agreement with the results from information theory and (a geometric approach to) factor analysis assessments. High sampling rates in the first liquid chromatographic dimension were shown to be impossible or inefficient when the peak capacity and separation time of the second dimension was high or when the aim of the exercise was to isolate individual sample constituents in high yield.
