“…BC is less polar than SB. summarizes the infinite dilution molar fraction activity coefficients, and their athermal contributions, of the 33 solutes on TCEP, TCEPE, SB, and BC, at 393.15 K. As Langer and Purnell [24] stated, the smaller the activity coefficients the larger the solute-stationary phase interaction, and vice versa, in agreement with the literature [6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Therefore, especially in the more polar TCEP and TCEPE stationary phases (=30% CN fraction), hydrocarbons, n-octanol, triethylamine, and n-hexyl amine have large activity coefficients, suggesting a weak interaction between these SP and the solutes, while phenol, oxo compounds, amides, and methanol have small activity coefficients, hinting at a strong interaction with TCEP.…”
