Thin-Layer Chromatographic Separation of DMSO Complexes of Metal Ions

Abstract

Thin layer chromatography of DMSO complexes of some metal ions in a large number of solvent systems was carried out. The specific separation of DMSO complex of Hg²⁺ from others have been achieved in ethyl acetate media. Other important separations of metal - DMSO complexes are : Ni²⁺ - Co²⁺, Ce³⁺ - La³⁺ and Zn²⁺ - Mn²⁺. Some other possible separations are also reported.
