title: Solvent composition effects in the chromatography of aromatic nitro-compounds on thin layers of alumina.
abstract: The relationship between the R(M)-value and the concentration of the polar solvent in the mobile phase was investigated for a number of nitro-derivatives of benzene, naphthalene and biphenyl. In accordance with a molecular model of adsorption, linear R(M)vs. log X(S) plots were obtained (X(S) is the mole fraction of the polar solvent). The effect of the number of nitro-groups and their position in the aromatic ring on adsorption was investigated.
