Abstract

Logarithmic plots of gas chromatographic retention data for different classes of compds. on different pairs of stationary phases were constructed. A remarkable effect was found. Isomers are spread along parallel lines in a repeated pattern, forming a \"roofing-tile\" series. The scattering of points around isomer lines is real and is a consequence of detailed structure of mols. Alkanes have been divided into groups that have equal nos. of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary C atoms. Alkanes of these groups lie upon straight lines. Lines of all groups are parallel. Code nos. are in numerical order if attached to the position of the lines. [on SciFinder (R)]
