Solubility and Partition Chromatographic Parameters in Systems of the type Binary Solvent-Pure Solvent

In accordance with theoretical anticipations, parallelity was found between RM vs. composition and log cs vs. composition lines for two naphtols chromatographed in three series of partition chromatographic systems (cs = solubility). The results indicate that in certain cases the solubility of substances may be approximately estimated from chromatographic data, especially when a partition mechanism is obtained, e.g., by impregnating the paper with a nonvolatile liquid and developing with a solvent practically immiscible with the fixed phase.
