Based on the interactions between the pi-electrons of the stationary phase‘s phenyl ring and the double bonds in the aromatic ring(s) of your analyte, retention time and elution order can change signifi- cantly and thus have a very positive effect on your method. You can further adjust the selectivity of a phenyl stationary phase by using methanol instead of acetonitrile within the mobile phase. The pi-electrons of acetonitrile can interact with both the phenyl phase and aromatic func- tional groups in a competing way, thus leading to a reduced analyte reten- tion time.
