The SFC retention behaviour of alkanes, alkylbenzenes and chloroalkane
was investigated by studying solute/mobile phase/stationary phase int
eraction enthalpies. The methylene group and functional group contribu
tions to solute retention were calculated in pure CO2. It was shown th
at hydrophobic interactions mainly control retention in pure CO2. Inte
raction between the polar extremity of C10CN ligands and residual OH g
roups on the silica surface was suggested as an explanation of the ret
ention obtained on such ligands. This was confirmed by experiments car
ried out with modified CO2.
