Abstract
The use of configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulations in the Gibbs ensemble allows for the sampling of phenomena that occur on vastly different time and length scales. In this review, applications of this simulation approach to probe retention in gas and reversed-phase liquid chromatographic systems are discussed. These simulations provide an unprecedented view of the retention processes at the molecular-level and show excellent agreement with experimental retention data.
