Preferred Label : relative retention;
Detailed label : relative retention in column chromatography, r;
IUPAC definition : The ratio of the adjusted or net retention volume (time) or retention factor of a
component relative to that of a standard, obtained under identical conditions: \[r
\frac{V_{{R}i} {'}}{V_{{R}\left({st}\right)} {'}} \frac{V_{{N}i}}{V_{{N}\left({st}\right)}}
\frac{t_{{R}i} {'}}{t_{{R}\left({st}\right)} {'}} \frac{k_{i}}{k_{{st}}}\] Depending
on the relative position of the peak corresponding to the standard compound in the
chromatogram, the value of r may be smaller, larger or identical to unity.;
