Abstract
The effect of mobile phase additives is investigated for a variety of compounds under subcritical and supercritical conditions using packed columns. Retention of hydrogen bond donor/acceptor analytes was found to be more dependent on the presence of mobile phase additives than weak hydrogen bond acceptor analytes. The temperature and pressure of the mobile phase are major factors in the extent of this dependence. Consequently, selectivity between homologous compounds is dependent on both the additive used and the state of the mobile phase. Efficiency is nearly always improved by the presence of mobile phase additives, more so under supercritical conditions than under subcritical conditions. These observations suggest that surface molar excesses of mobile phase additives play a large part in the resulting character of the supercritical chromatographic system.
