When you're asked to draw a Stationary Phase/C18 Synergi Hydro PR by Phenomenex,
what is your first step?


I understand that C18 is low polarity with alkain chains, but in order to draw its schematic structure, what is the step?

Any input is appreciated.

Go to the Phenomenex website?   

Column descriptions generally include the specific chemical structure of their stationary phase plus sometimes anything unique about the support.  Examples: ODS=Octadecylsilane, PFP=Pentafluorophenyl, cyano=cyanopropyl, etc.  BDS=Base deactivated silica.  C18 also stands for a specific structure not just any random group of alkyl chains.
