M. Waksmundzkahajnos et al., RETENTION BEHAVIOR OF SOME HETEROAZOPHENOLS IN NORMAL-PHASE SYSTEMS OF TLC .1. COMPARISON OF ADSORPTION PROPERTIES OF FLORISIL AND SILICA, Chemia Analityczna, 39(2), 1994, pp. 121-132
To compare the chemical character and distribution of active centers o
n the surface of two polar adsorbents, Florisil and silica, the retent
ion of several dyes - heteroazophenols were determined using nonaqueou
s mobile phases with different modifiers in thin-layer chromatography
(TLC). Linear relationships were obtained between R(M) values and the
logarithm of percentage concentration of polar modifier in the mobile
phase. The selectivities of the systems investigated were compared. Co
nsideration of relationships between R(M) (Fl) and R(M) (SiO2) allows
the comparison of the surface properties of the adsorbents.
