“…Apart from 1D GC, these compounds show attractive features for multidimensional GC. , RTILs are polar and possess high viscosity, high thermal stability, and low vapor pressure making them attractive stationary phases in the GC. RTIL-coated capillary columns have been commercialized, and they have been extensively employed in the separation of a wide variety of complex chemical mixtures, including but not limited to essential oils, petroleum products, fatty acid methyl esters, and various enantiomers. − The application of RTILs as stationary GC phases has been reviewed in depth in recent publications , and a book chapter . While RTILs are established stationary phases for capillary columns, they have not been used in microcolumns until very recently.…”
