Classification and Characterization
of Liquid Chromatography Stationary Phases.
Part I: Descriptive Terminology
(IUPAC Recommendations 1997)
R. M. Smith
and A. Marton
Abstract: A wide range of stationary phases and column packing
materials have been developed over the years for liquid chromatography
and these need to be described accurately and unambiguously. The present
paper, which is the first of a series planned for this area, recommends
terms for the description of the stationary phase materials and their
properties and expands the list of terms given in Nomenclature of Chromatography
[Pure Appl. Chem., 1993, 65, 819-872]. It concentrates
on the chemical properties and chromatographic role of the materials.
Many of the terms to describe their physical properties as particles
have been discussed in a recent paper on the characterization of porous
solids [Pure Appl. Chem., 1994, 66, 1739-1758].
