Interactions between analytes and chromatographic phases governing the retention were analyzed and mechanistically interpreted via quantum chemical descriptors as compared to the typical ‘black box’ approach. Statistically significant consensus genetic algorithm?partial least squares (GA?PLS) quantitative structure retention relationship (QSRR) models were built and comprehensively validated. Results showed that for the K?C18 column, hydrophobicity and solvent effects were dominating, whereas electrostatic interactions were less pronounced. Similarly, for the K?F5 column, hydrophobicity, dispersion effects, and electrostatic interactions were found to be governing the retention of flavonoids. Conversely, besides hydrophobic forces and dispersion effects, electrostatic interactions were found to be dominating the IAM.PC.DD2 retention mechanism. As such, the developed approach has a great potential for gaining insights into biological activity upon analysis of interactions between analytes and stationary phases imitating molecular targets, giving rise to an exceptional alternative to existing methods lacking exhaustive interpretations. © 2020 by the authors.
