Abstract: | The utility of several glass capillary columns to separate some trifluoroacetonates, diethyldithiocarbamates, di(trifluoroethyl) dilithiocarbamates and diisopropyldithiophosphates metal chelates was investigated. The increased sensitivity offered by selective detectors was also explored. Most favorable results were obtained with a short highly inert fused silica column, coated with a non-retentive liquid phase. |
