I am currently working on the identification of lichen substances (secondary metabolites) of manglicolous lichens and I only used thin layer chromatography. The solvent I used is dichloromethane. My question is if there is a specific formula in computing the retention factors for these compounds in using the solvent dichloromethane. I would also appreciate other references if there are formulas for other solvents used. Thank you.
