“…2A and B) owing to suppressed anion dissociation and accelerated penetration into the negatively charged layer on the resin. [24][25][26] Consequently, the retention times of acids such as cis-aconitate, a-ketoglutarate, phosphate, pyruvate, citrate, iso-citrate, malate, fumarate, and succinate increased with increasing phthalic acid concentration (pH 2.61-2.95) in the eluent, as shown in Fig. 2A.…”
