Correlation of solvatochromic effects with retention in supercritical fluid chromatography

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5540066

The study of mobile phase intermolecular interactions is reported using the solvatochromic technique for supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The change in the solvation character of the cybotactic region of the selected solute probes was observed to be dependent on the density of the solvent. This change in solvation is compared with solute retention under similiar pressure and temperature conditions for capillary SFC. The major solute-solvent interactions with CO/sub 2/ seems to be from dipole-induced dipole interactions. 25 refs., 8 figs.
