Abstract
It was demonstrated that the characteristics of stationary phases for reversed-phase chromatography can be compared by analyzing the retention of several compounds belonging to a homologous series during elution with one and the same composition of mobile phase or the retention of a nonpolar compound during elution with several mobile phases of different compositions. The slope of the corresponding linear correlations can be used to characterize the hydrophobicity of the columns (stationary phases) under study. To analyze the polar interactions between the sorbate and the stationary phase it is advantageous to study the retention of a polar substance in several (at least in two) mobile phases of different compositions. The degree of displacement of the linear correlation relative to that for nonpolar substances can be considered a measure of the influence of residual silanol groups on the total retention characteristics.
