Highly polar, homogeneous mobile phases have a number of advantages ov
er carbon dioxide-based mixed mobile phases for supercritical fluid ch
romatography. While these fluids have been demonstrated to have very h
igh eluotropic strengths in capillary systems, their utility for packe
d columns lies in their ability to overcome the deleterious effects of
residual silanol groups present on the bonded-phase surface. A partic
ularly promising fluid, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), is chara
cterized with respect to eluotropic strength, selectivity, efficiency
and temperature effects. These results are compared to those obtained
with carbon dioxide and methanol-modified carbon dioxide mobile phases
on a silica column. HFC-134a displays different selectivities, effici
encies, eluotropic strength and temperature dependencies on retention
than either of the two reference mobile phases. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scie
