High performance thin layer chromatography has been used to separate all the platinum metal 8-hydroxyquinolinates on polar stationary phases. The dependence of Rf values on the composition of mobile phases prepared from chloroformtetrahydrofuran or chloroformalcohol mixtures has been investigated. Retention was found to be partially dependent on alcohol chain length in chloroformalcohol systems. The results obtained from TLC are dependent on the method of sample preparation used for the analyte.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
