Reverse phase HPLC describes methods that utilize a polar mobile phase in combination with a nonpolar stationary phase. As stated above, the nonpolar stationary phase structure is a bonded phase—a structure that is chemically bonded to the silica particles. Here, typical column names often have the carbon number designation indicating the length of a carbon chain to which the nonpolar nature is attributed. Typical designations are C8, C18 (or ODS, meaning octadecyl silane), etc. Common mobile phase liquids are water, methanol, acetonitrile (CH3CN), and acetic acid buffered solutions. 

The temperature dependence of the size of a macromolecular coil is included in the coefficient of stiffness C T) which has the meaning of the ratio of the squared length of a Kuhn segment to the squared length of the chemical bond, and can be calculated from the local chemical architecture of the chain. The results of the calculations were summarised by Birshtein and Ptitsyn (1966) and by Flory (1969). 

A major difference between infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy is in the concentrations required for assay In infrared spectroscopy as much as a 10% w/v solution of sample must be prepared. This means that the path length of the cells used in infrared must be very short, usually 0.025-0.1 mm (otherwise absorbance values would be too high). Another problem with infrared spectra is that the solvent used in the assay (usually chloroform or dichloromethane) also possesses chemical bonds that will absorb infrared radiation in some part of the spectrum, obscuring the absorption by the sample at these wavelengths. Samples are prepared in solution, in a mull or paste made with liquid paraffin (Nujol), or in a solid disc prepared by trituration with dry potassium bromide followed by compression in a hydraulic press.

Is the length of a chemical bond determined simply by the sum of the bonding radii of the two atoms If this is the case, the bond distance in a heteronuclear diatomic AB should be equal to the arithmetic mean of the bond distances in Ai and B2.
