Abstract:
The influence of some important experimental parameters on the resolution of compounds as well as the validity of widely used rules of thumb and of common expectations about how to improve resolution is discussed. It will be shown, on the basis of selected examples, that the general expectations about how the experimental parameters have to be adjusted for better resolution does not cover all chances for resolution improvement. The tool for understanding the method and to discover all chances for increasing selectivity is the resolution map of a method.
