Notes:
Two new categories of stationary phase have been studied: liquid crystals and polyesters. The liquid crystals were p,p′-azoxyphenetol, p(n-hexyloxy)phenyl-p′-methoxy benzoate, and p-pentyloxy-p′-ethoxyazoxybenzene; and the polyester phases 1,4-butanediol succinate (LAC-860), ethylene glycol succinate (LAC-886), diethylene glycol succinate (LAC-738), diethylene glycol adipate (LAC-296), and neopentyl glycol adipate (LAC-769).Abnormal chromatographic behavior, has been observed: an increase in specific retention volumes and an improvement in the separation of normal, branched, and cycloparaffins, depending on their structures, at high temperatures within a specified range. This phenomenon is the opposite of the behavior of traditional stationary phases. From the chromatograms obtained, plots of log vg0 against 1/T, and differential thermal analysis it is concluded that this abnormal behavior may be attributed to the penetration of solutes through the ordered structure of the mesophase and the rod-like molecules of the polyesters. Furthermore, the chromatographic behavior of some of the polyester (LAC-series) stationary phases in respect of temperature changes is similar to that of the nematic mesophases.
