Abstract
Hexa-O-octanoyl- scyllo-inositol, a scyllitol-derived disc-shaped liquid crystal, was tested as a stationary phase in gas chromatography. The retention indices of series of isomers selected as test substances differing in chemical structure, molecular geometry and physico-chemical properties were measured, and conclusions about the mechanism of interaction between the stationary phase and the test molecules are discussed. The polarity of the phase was measured according to Rohrschneider. The determination of the phase transition temperatures using the capacity factor in the heating and cooling cycles showed that the liquid crystal can be supercooled.
