The dextran (Sephadex) gels, fist introduced by Porath and Flodin in 1959 (l), are best known for their molecular sieve properties and their use in gel fitration (2). Gel-solute interactions, however, may profoundly affect solute partitioning, particularly in the more highly crosslinked forms although the latter can also act essentially as molecular sieves towards some solutes, eg, oligosaccharides (3). The mechanisms involved in solute partitioning in these gels are, however, not well understood. When swollen in water, highly crosslinked, but otherwise unsubstituted, dextran gels have an affinity for many aromatic compounds (43) and also for weakly polar aliphatic solutes (6). The avidity for the former is often considerable and the concept of a special aromatic affinity has emerged (7). The affinity for less polar aliphatic solutes exhibits several properties characteristic of hydrophobic interactions (8). Thus, it appears to be an entropy-dominated process (8), requiring the presence of water (9) and it is changed by so-called water structure perturbants such as urea and guanidinium salts (10) in the same direction as they affect the tendency of a nonionic surfactant to form micelles (1 1, 12). bic interaction in the adsorption of nonpolar and weakly polar aliphatic solutes,(b) suggest that n electrons in the solute promote affinity,(c) suggest that a reduced affinity in hydroxyl derivatives of paraffins is caused by lowered hydrophobicity due to the polarity of the OH group,(d) show that there are stringent demands on solute structure if molecular sieve behavior is to be manifest, and (e) show that, whereas the gel has an affinity for hydrocarbons, both aliphatic and aromatic, it does not prefer the latter; a higher aromatic affinity requires an additional condition.
