Jh. Park et al., STUDY OF THE HYDROGEN-BOND DONOR ACIDITY OF BINARY AQUEOUS MIXTURES AND THEIR ROLE IN REVERSED-PHASE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of physical organic chemistry, 7(12), 1994, pp. 757-769
The solvatochromic hydrogen bond donor (HBD) acidity parameter (a(mix)
) of aqueous mixtures of methanol, acetonitrile, propan-2-ol and tetra
hydrofuran were determined spectrophotometrically. The study was carri
ed out at 25 degrees C as a function of composition, The indicators us
ed were -diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-N-pyridino)phenolate, 6-dichloro-
4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-N-pyridino)phenolate and Fe(LL)(2)(CN)(2) (LL = N-(
2-pyridylbenzylidene)-3,4-dimethylaniline), The HBD acidity of the aqu
eous organic mixtures was related to retention in reversed-phase liqui
d chromatography.
