Abstract:
The presented work is devoted to Porasil C silica, with organic compounds bonded to its surface and capable of electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) interactions. These packings are a good base for studying interactions among stationary phases and the adsorbate molecules showing electron-donor properties. The presented work concentrates on the phases containing ketoimino groups at their surface. Copper and chromium chlorides were bonded through these to the surface. Physicochemical characteristics of the obtained packings were determined by the use of elemental analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and inverse gas chromatography. We examined the influence of the surface modification on the retention parameters of the nucleophilic compounds.
