The capillary gas-chromatographic retention behavior of six underivatized equine estrogens (estrone, equilin, equilenin and their corresponding 17α-diols) on a mixed stationary phase (non-polar CP-Sil 5 CB and slightly polar CP-Sil 19 CB capillary columns coupled in series) was characterized by their Kovats retention indices and steroid numbers. In order to find whether a correlation exists between the chromatographic retention and some physico-chemical properties of the compounds, their octanol-water partition coefficients and dipole moments were measured. No straightforward correlation was observed between the physico-chemical properties and the retention behavior, which suggests that the GC separation of equine estrogens is governed by some specific electron donor-electron acceptor interactions of a chemical nature.

AbstractChlorinated Paraffins (CPs) are high volume production chemicals and have been found in various organisms including humans and in environmental samples from remote regions. It is thus of great importance to understand the physical–chemical properties of CPs. In this study, gas chromatographic (GC) retention indexes (RIs) of 25 CP congeners were measured on various polar and nonpolar columns to investigate the relationships between the molecular structure and the partition properties. Retention measurements show that analytical standards of individual CPs often contain several stereoisomers. RI values show that chlorination pattern have a large influence on the polarity of CPs. Single Cl substitutions (–CHCl–, –CH2Cl) generally increase polarity of CPs. However, many consecutive –CHCl– units (e.g., 1,2,3,4,5,6-C11Cl6) increase polarity less than expected from the total number of –CHCl– units. Polyparameter linear free energy relationship descriptors show that polarity difference between CP congeners can be explained by the H-bond donating properties of CPs. RI values of CP congeners were predicted using the quantum chemically based prediction tool COSMOthermX. Predicted RI values correlate well with the experimental data (R2, 0.975–0.995), indicating that COSMOthermX can be used to accurately predict the retention of CP congeners on GC columns.

Considerable attention has been paid to the analysis of chemicals in the s-triazine group, due to their widespread use in agricultural chemistry and their subsequent impact on biological systems. For initial chemical screening of the activity of newly synthesized compounds, it is recommended to determine their lipophilicity and physico-chemical property in relation to biological activity. Lipophilicity is difficult to quantify. The most widely accepted measure of lipophilicity is the octanol-water partition coefficient. Measurement of the octanol-water partition coefficients is achieved by an alternative method, i.e. reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (RP TLC) is a rapid method for the analysis of large number of s-triazine type compounds. Certain relationship between the structure of s-triazine compounds and their mobility on silica gel impregnated with paraffin oil have recently been demonstrated. The retention behavior of compounds in various chromatographic systems strongly depends on their physico-chemical properties. Recently, much effort was given in finding adequate mathematical model relating the retention of the given analyte to its physico-chemical and structural parameters (descriptors). These correlations are known as quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRR), which offer a powerful tool for the prediction of separation behavior. The QSRR equations describing retention constants RM0, determined for different modifiers in mobile phase in terms of logarithms of n-octanol-water partition coefficients, were derived. The partition coefficients (AlogPs, AClogP, AB/logP, milogP, AlogP, MlogP, logPKowin, XlogP2, XlogP3, ACDlogP i ClogP) were calculated by application of different software packages. The goal of this paper was to select the logP data and TLC system that best characterize octanol/water partitioning and thus the lipophilicity of the investigated molecules.

A series of structural and physico � chemical properties of some monosubstituted halogene � derivatives of benzene were analyzed by using HyperChem software package. The bond lengths, the angle between the covalent bonds, atomic charges, the symmetry class, the energies of the ground and excited states, the dipole moments, the polarizabilities, the wavelengths of the electronic transitions and the corresponding oscillator strengths have been obtained and correlated with experimental data published for the studied compounds. The computed molecular polarizability a is directly correlated with the measured halogene atomic electronegativity. A polynomial dependence of order two was evidenced between the valence vibration wavenumber of C-X bond, experimentally determined and the computed polarizability.

A general approach is proposed to the calculation of gas chromatographic retention indices (RI) of organic compounds on standard polydimethylsiloxane stationary phases based on their principal physico-chemical constants such as the boiling temperature, molar refraction or molecular weight. A combination of logical criteria was established for comparing functions of the above parameters for the identification of substances whose RI values are only determined by their boiling temperatures. It is demonstrated that within homologous series, the dependence of the RI value on the boiling temperature or any additive molecular parameter (molecular weight, molar refraction, number of carbon atoms in the molecule, etc.) is nonlinear. If this dependence is taken into account, the RI value of any organic compound can be predicted with a precision comparable to the standard deviation of the statistically processed values determined in nonequivalent conditions.
