Abstract
THE infinite dilution net retention volume (solubility) of solutes in GLC is related to the corresponding partition coefficient K∞ and solvent volume VL via Although VL usually increases slightly with increasing temperature, K diminishes so rapidly that dVR/dT is inevitably negative. The possibility that means may be found to cause VL to increase with increasing temperature faster than K decreases seems never to have been explored although it obviously presents an approach to practical attainment of a novel GLC situation in which, at least for some range of temperature, d VR/dT is positive or, more interesting, can be made zero.
