Qualitative Gas Chromatographic Analysis by Means of Retention Volume Constants -- Behavior of Isomers

Abstract

The technique of using retention volume constants derived from gas chromatographic behavior on two columns has been extended to include isomeric members of homologous series of alcohols, ketones, and esters. Data are provided which show that normal and isomeric members of homologous series within a functional group class have the same functional group retention volume constant.
