Abstract:
The reversed-phase liquid chromatography retention of phenol derivatives was investigated over a concentration range of sodium chloride (0-10(-2) M) and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) (0-35x10(-3) M) using a porous graphitic carbon (PGC) stationary phase and a methanol/water mixture (50:50 (v/v)) as the mobile phase. A theoretical treatment was developed to investigate the effect of the sodium chloride and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin on the equilibrium between the solutes with the PGC surface and the aqueous medium, respectively. The thermodynamic parameter variations were calculated using van't Hoff plots. It was expected that the sodium ion acted on the solute-PGC association process by modifying the surface tension of both the bulk solvent and the PGC surface. The phenol derivative/HP-beta-cyclodextrin complexation was shown to be entropically controlled for all the solutes except for the one which contained the -NO2 group in its structure, i.e. the nitro phenol derivative. A comparison of the compensation temperature of the solute-PGC association process when sodium chloride and HP-beta-CD concentration changed in the mobile phase led to the conclusion that these two modifiers acted via a variation in the hydrophobic effect.

Aldehydes and Ketones with Water: Hydrate Formation
The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...
