About Acetonitrile
An aprotic solvent with low UV absorbance, making it the backbone organic phase of reverse-phase HPLC gradient methods. Its high polarity and poor hydrogen-bond donation keep analytes from over-retaining on C18 columns, but it is toxic enough that acetonitrile-free green chromatography is an active research field.
