Abstract
In reversed phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC), a multiparametric non-linear least-squares regression iterative method has been evaluated at different column temperatures (ranging from 30 to 60 °C in 5 °C steps) for calculating the retention time of the unretained compound tM and the regression parameter (slope b), based on the use of alkan-2-ones, alkyl aryl ketones and 1-nitroalkanes homologous series on two different columns: Spherisorb-ODS2 C18 and Nucleosil C8. The calculated parameters tM and b by the multiparametric method (MP) were compared with those obtained by using the iterative method of Guardino’s. The influence of the number of subsets of homologues used for the calculation of tM and b values was investigated. The retention indices (RI) of some neutral and acidic explosives and related compounds (nitramines, nitroaromatics, aminonitroaromatics and nitrophenols) based on the alkan-2-ones retention index standards have been determined and compared at various temperatures by the MP method. Good agreement was observed between retention data calculated by the MP and GU methods.
