Effect of Chain Length of Stationary Phase

Reversed Phase

❑ In general, longer chains have a greater retention strength.

                Strong                        Medium

❑ Reversed-phase chromatography               C4
   eliminates peak tailing because the            Weak
   stationary phase has few sites that
   can strongly adsorb a solute to cause                      129
   tailing.
