Abstract:
In this work, we present the excess isotherm of acetonitrile for stationary phases with different coverage density. Data obtained with the minor disturbance method were compared with (29)Si cross-polarization/magic-angle spinning NMR spectra to find dependence between acetonitrile adsorption on C18 chemically bonded stationary phases and coverage density of stationary phase. The preferential adsorption of acetonitrile on the bonded phase and the adsorption of water on the silica surface can be well correlated with the coverage density.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
