Summary: Deuterated compounds are generally considered to possess very similar properties to their protonated analogues. Reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) was used to measure thermodynamic interactions between deuterated and protonated n ‐butyl polystyrenes and a C18 stationary phase. Significant differences in enthalpies and entropies of interaction were observed for deuterated and protonated n ‐butyl polystyrenes. This is very important because many techniques, such as small‐angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectivity, assume that the interaction of these molecules are identical.Structure of n ‐butyl polystyrenes.
