Thermodynamics of the sorption of 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives from solutions on hypercrosslinked polystyrene

The sorption of a series of aromatic heterocycles on neutral hypercrosslinked polystyrene from maximally dilute acetonitrile and water.acetonitrile solutions of them is investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography in a range of column temperatures from 308 to 348 K at 5 K intervals. It is found that for all heterocycles, the logarithm of the retention factor versus the reciprocal of the temperature dependences can be approximated by linear functions with r ² ≥ 0.999. It is established that the true compensation effect (which does not result from the correlation between enthalpy and entropy determination errors) occurs during the sorption of heterocycles on hypercrosslinked polystyrene from both acetonitrile and water-acetonitrile solutions. It is shown that in the compensation diagram, the points corresponding to sorbates are grouped together according to the type of sorbate-sorbent interactions. It is found that changes in the Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of sorption from acetonitrile solutions and for sorption from water-acetonitrile solutions are related to one another by linear dependences.
