Relationships between GLC behavior and structures of long-chain fatty acids are discussed. These relationships have been developed for mono-olefinic and myethylene-interrupted polyolefinic acids and have been made possible by the extensive published retention data on polyester phases and by a rationalization of ideas of stationary phase polarity. The relationships have been extended to nonmethylene-interrupted polyolefinic acids and the concept of fractional chain-length (FCL) values is explored for polyolefinic acids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
