摘要
A general equation relating the observed retention factor to the pH of the mobile phase, the dissociation constants, and the retention factors of the different ionic species has been derived. This equation is applicable to polyprotic weak acid and base dissociation events, that is, the secondary equilibria existing in the HPLC mobile phase. It is written as: [GRAPHICS] where the k(r) values are the retention factors of the dissociated species, and K-a(r), the product of the first r-dissociation constants, K-a(r)=(i=1)Pi(r)K(a,i).x is related to the pH of the mobile phase: x=2.303 . pH. The derived equation was used to calculatethe three dissociation constants of leukotriene E(4). Also, a formula is established for calculating the range of pH values where an ionic species is most likely to be predominant in the mobile phase.
