Application of the log k pair linearity rule and proportionality rule to the RPP mobile phase scales estimation on diol-silica column
By the application of the Log ? pair linearity rule and the Proportionality rule to the previously published log ? values for 27 compounds, obtained on diol-silica columns with acetonitrile, methanol and tetrahydrofuran as modifiers, the existence of common RPP scales was established. The obtained correlation coefficients of the linear function log k = f(RPP) were better than 0.9900 for 26 compounds in the first, 21 in the second and 20 in the third case. In addition, in the case of the two first modifiers a linear correlation between the obtained RPP values and mol % of modifier in the mobile phase was found. On the basis of this, the following simple linear function: log k= f(mol % of modifier) was proposed as a criterion for log k values judgment in practical work. A linear correlation was also established between intercept and slope of the function, in spite of the fact that the investigated compounds essentially differ in their descriptors.
