  • Title: Retention of ionizable compounds in high-performance liquid chromatography. 14. Acid-base pK values in acetonitrile-water mobile phases.
    Author: Espinosa S, Bosch E, Rosés M.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2002 Jul 26; 964(1-2):55-66. PubMed ID: 12198856.
    Abstract:
    Linear relationships between sspKa values in acetonitrile-water mixtures and wwpKa values in pure water have been established for five families of compounds: aliphatic carboxylic acids, aromatic carboxylic acids, phenols, amines, and pyridines. The parameters (slope and intercept) of the linear correlations have been related with acetonitrile-water composition. The proposed equations allow accurate estimation of the pKa values of any member of the studied families at any acetonitrile-water composition up to 60% of acetonitrile in volume (100% for pyridines). Conversely, the same equations can be used to estimate aqueous pKa values from chromatographic pKa values obtained from any acetonitrile-water mobile phase between the composition range studied. Estimation of pKa values have been tested with chromatographic literature data.
