SummaryThe specific retention volumes and Henry coefficients measured on packed columns are compared with those calculated via retention indices determined on wall coated open tubular capillary columns. The stationary phase liquids used were derivatives of a branched paraffin, C7~H158, where a methyl or ethyl group of the paraffin was replaced by OH, CN, OCH 3 and SH groups. The retention indices of a series of molecular probes of varying polarity (aromatics, 1-chloroalkanes, 1-acetoxy-alkanes, 1-alkanols, 2-alkanones) were determined at T = 403.15 K on fused-silica open tubular columns prepared by static coating that gave stable and uniform solvent films. After obtaining the absolute data on packed columns for n-alkanes, the specific retention volumes and Henry coefficients of the solutes were calculated. The retention data obtained on both columns showed good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
