Theoretical models for retention in supercritical fluid chromatography have described solute retention based on statistical thermodynamics or classical thermodynamic models of mobile-phase interactions with the solute. The shortcomings of these models largely reside in the assumption of pressure-independent solute-stationary phase interactions with supercritical fluids. The pressure dependence of the partial molar volume of the solute in the stationary phase and the role of the partial molar volume of the solute in the stationary phase on retention in supercritical fluid chromatography are discussed based upon experimental studies with CO/sub 2/ over a wide range of fluid pressures.
