Abstract

Chromatographic techniques have revolutionized the field of molecular analysis by offering unparalleled insights into the intricate patterns of chemical compounds. This paper delves into the concept of “Chromatographic Constellations,” a novel approach that metaphorically compares the chromatographic separations to the celestial arrangement of stars, aiming to elucidate molecular structures and interactions. Drawing parallels between chromatographic peaks and celestial bodies, we explore how chromatography unveils hidden molecular landscapes, akin to how astronomers decipher celestial phenomena. By employing various chromatographic methods such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC), researchers navigate through complex mixtures, discerning individual components with precision. Furthermore, we examine the role of chromatographic parameters, including stationary phase selection, mobile phase composition, and column dimensions, in shaping the chromatographic landscape. Just as celestial phenomena vary with factors like distance and luminosity, chromatographic patterns evolve with altering experimental conditions, reflecting the dynamic nature of molecular interactions.
