Inorganic salts as hold-up time markers in C(18) columns
1Departament de Quimica Analitica, Universitat de Barcelona, Avda Diagonal 647, 08028 Barcelona, Spain.
Abstract:
A systematic study of the retention behaviour in a C(18) reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) system of several inorganic salts, namely NaNO(2), NaNO(3), KBr, Bu(4)NBr and K(2)Cr(2)O(7), is presented. The behaviour of the markers in unbuffered mobile phases and the marker retention dependence on the pH and ionic strength of the buffered mobile phases have been analyzed. In addition, a comparison between the retention behaviour of the markers and several ionizable analytes in buffered eluents is presented.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
