The retention of fifty structurally different compounds has been studied using linear solvation energy relationships. Investigations were performed with the use of six various stationary phases with two mobile phases (50/50 % v/v methanol/water and 50/50 % v/v acetonitrile/water). Packing materials were home-made and…
