“…The retention and lipophilicity of these compounds were investigated on several thin layers. The quantitative relation between structure, retention and activity/property as well as electrochemical behavior and antioxidative activity of these compounds were also investigated (Aburas et al, ; Baošić & Tešić, ; Baošić, Milojković‐Opsenica, & Tešić, ; Baošić et al, ; Baošić, Radojević, Tripković, Aburas, & Tešić, ). The results motivated us to examine the effect of structure of Schiff bases and their Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes on chromatographic behavior under normal‐ and reverse‐phase conditions in order to determine effect of substituent on retention.…”
