Summary

The on-column oxidation of hydrocarbons commonly used as stationary phases in column characterization is investigated. In each case significant shifts of retention are observed, which may be negative or positive depending upon the polarity of the test solutes and the adsorptivity of the support material. In order to reduce the consequent uncertainties in the Rohrschneider [1] and McReynolds [2] polarity values, a new method of column characterization is proposed. The applicability of the new method is illustrated by a consideration of a range of silicone liquid phases.
