tR1, tR2, tRM = retention times (1. measurement, 2. measurement, avaerage)

capacity factor = k = (tR/t0)-1

t0 = dead time (retention time of thiourea)

The linear regression obtained for the plot of log Pow versus log k (capacity factor) for the reference substances was:

log Pow = 2.7492 k + 2.7529, with a correlation coefficient r2 = 0.9838.
