Summary Reversed-phase liquid chromatographic capacity factors are well correlated by an equation of the form: $$logk' = (logk')_0 + mV/100 + s\pi ^* + b\beta + a\alpha $$ wheremV/100 measures the cavity term and π*, β, and α are the solvatochromic parameters that measure solute dipolarity/polarizability, hydrogen bond acceptor basicity, and hydrogen bond donor acidity respectively. Liquid molar volume (molecular weight divided by liquid density at 20°C) $$\bar V$$ , and computer-calculated intrinsic (van der Waals) molecular volume, $$\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{V} _I $$ , are compared as measures of the cavity term in a number of correlations. $$\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{V} _I $$ leads to more precise correlations as well as to a “cleaner” dissection of the multiple solute/solvent interactions. The opposing exoergic effect of solvent donor/solute acceptor hydrogen bonding, and endoergic cavity term are the main factors influencing HPLC capacity factors.
