A fact of intermolecular reactions or interactions between the liquid crystal and the chromatographed substances is important for the understanding of the phenomena taking place in the chromatographic column. The structure of the molecules and their polarity and polarizability affect, as well as, the solubility of the chromatographed substances in the liquid crystal plays an important influence on the separation. The properties of the liquid crystal stationary phases depend both on the structure of the main chain of the molecule and on the terminal substituents which strongly affect the...
