The first eluent (A), 9-fluorenone greatest IMFs are dipole-dipoles, although silica allows for short dipole-dipole interactions, which is possible because of its polar regions. This relationship is exemplified by 9-fluorenone?s high Rf values, and a strong affinity towards the stationary.
phase. The symposia are. Eluent B, 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane, as well as eluent C, 3,4-dimethyphenol, both have H-bonding capabilities, and subsequent increased attraction to silica.

Overall, the compound with the highest Rf value was 9-fluorenone. Because of its dipole-dipole IMFs, it is more able to quickly travel up the silica plate. Although its weaker attraction to the silica is shown through the higher Rf values, 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane and 3,4-dimethylphenol don?t have the same IMFs. These compounds contain H-bonding capabilities, which interact more with the silica, or the stationary phase, as ethyl acetate?s more polar nature mixed well with them due to their greater affinity towards polar conditions. This is exemplified by the low Rf values of 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane and
