Retention of Naproxen enantiomers on the chiral stationary phase Whelk-O1 under reversed-phase conditions. A reconsideration of the adsorption mechanism in the light of new experimental data

A model of adsorption of the Naproxen enantiomers on the (S,S)-Whelk-O1 chiral stationary phase that we recently proposed was found to be inconsistent with new experimental data. A new model taking into account the variation of the dissociation coefficient of the analyte during elution of the band is discussed.
