New stationary phases are obtained by coating on a silica support liquid cr
ystalline polysiloxanes with mesogenic side groups laterally attached to th
e polymer backbone through the flexible spacer. They show very good chromat
ographic performances in HPLC for the separation of polycyclic aromatic hyd
rocarbons. Solute/mesogenic group interactions are evaluated through molecu
lar mechanics calculations and correlated to the chromatographic results.
