Comparative Study of Quinolines and Tetrahydroquinolines Sorption on Various Sorbents from Water–Acetonitrile Solutions

The retention of 16 quinoline and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives was investigated under liquid chromatography conditions using porous graphitized carbon (PGC), octadecyl silica (ODS) and hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HCLP) stationary phases. For most of the analytes, retention on PGC was greater than on ODS, while retention on HCLP was even greater than on both ODS and PGC. The non-linearity of retention dependencies on acetonitrile content in...
