The solvation parameter model is used to characterize the separation properties of the polar stationary phases EC‐Wax and PAG with a poly(ethylene oxide) backbone (substituted with propylene oxide in the case of PAG) and the cyanopropyl‐substituted polysilphenylene–siloxane stationary phase BPX90 at five equally spaced temperatures between 60 and 140°C. The separation characteristics of these stationary phases are compared to four PEG and two poly(cyanopropylsiloxane) stationary phases (HP‐20M, HP‐Innowax, SolGel‐Wax, DB‐WAXetr, HP‐88, and SP‐2340) characterized in the same way. The database of system constants for these polar stationary phases is used to provide insight into the separation mechanism for fatty acid methyl esters and to determine selectivity differences that can be expected for generically similar stationary phase types. The discussion is not structured to indicate which stationary phase should be used for a particular separation but to provide a general framework to demonstrate the relationship between the retention mechanism and stationary phase chemistry.
