Abstract:
The addition of salts (investigated cations Na(+), NH(+)(4), K(+), KBu(+)(4) combined with the anions acetate, Br(-), SCN(-) and I(-)) can be used to eliminate peak tailing and to decrease retention of cationic species in the course of the separation of alkaloids from Chelidonium majus L. by reversed-phase chromatography on a ODS Hypersil column, using water-acetonitrile-methanol mixture as eluent. These findings are interpreted in terms of a silanol masking effect. The extended donor-acceptor concept is used to interpret the effectiveness of different salts in masking the active sites of the stationary phase.

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...
