The experimental results are represented in Figure 1 ; as in ref.[5], the log k'and Csaxes have opposite directions. Although only few values of solubility are available, the variations of log kvalues and log CS values of 2-hydroxynaphthalenc? are clearly seen to be parallel; some deviations are observed for the less accurately known low K and high Cs values. For 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene only two Cs values are available in the range of good accuracy, so thatonlyageneral ideacan begainedoftheanalogiesoflog K and log Cs; however, the vertical distance between the plots is clearly much larger than for 2-naphthol. This is in accord with earlier observations [3]. The retention vs. eluent composition relationships are approximately linear, as is frequently observed for liquidlliquid and liquidlsolid systems of this type [7,8].The experimental results confirm the important role of solution effects for nonpolar adsorbents [4,9-141; however, for polar solutes the selectivity (A log K) is apparently attributable not only to differences of solubility (A log CS) but also to other factors.
