title: Retention of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on propyl-phenyl stationary phases in reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A study on the retention of PAHs on three Propyl-phenyl stationary phases was conducted, assessing absolute retention, selectivity, retention correlation and thermodynamic behaviour. The chromatographic retention data revealed that each of the three Propyl-phenyl columns exhibited differences in absolute retention, however, comparison of the compensation temperatures derived from enthalpy-entropy compensation plots showed that the underlying processes responsible for the retention on these columns were the same.
