Abstract:
The structural descriptors with the best potential for predicting the reversed-phase retention of xanthines and their derivatives on the new Chromolith RP-18e columns have been examined, as has the molecular mechanism of the separation. QSRR analysis was performed by simultaneous solution of a set of linear equations. The logarithms of the capacity factors were the dependent variables. Structural descriptors calculated by means of semi-empirical methods of quantum chemistry were chosen as independent variables.
