Abstract

Next to chemical composition, size and weight are the most significant properties of a molecule. The molecular weight is frequently the decisive parameter to distinguish two molecules. The difference in molecular size plays a role in all conventional physical separation methods. The higher homologues of a series show usually higher melting and boiling points as well as lower solubility than related compounds of similar structure. For all practical purposes these differences are overlapping with other properties such as polarity or electrical charge density which determine the behavior of a substance during crystallization, distillation, extraction and during most of the chromatographic methods of separation. Sorting by size is a very common ordering principle in the macroscopic world. At the molecular level it was applied relatively late and in only a few isolated cases. It is also true for separations which are based on differences in molecular weight that other factors than the difference in molecular size play a role.
