FeaturesTrace Amount Metal Contents Test
A useful chromatographic test of trace amount of metal contents in the column is to compare the peak symmetry of one pair of positional isomers, 4,4’-dipyridyl and 2,2’-dipyridyl, and a neutral chelating reagent, 1,2-dihydroxylnaphthalene. 4,4’-dipyridyl, which cannot form chelating complex with metal, is used as a reference. 2,2’-dipyridyl and 1,2-dihydroxylnaphthalene, which are chelating reagents, are sensitive to trace amount metal in silica. When a C18 column based on type A silica or other so-called type B silica with higher metal content is used, the peaks of 2,2’-dipyridyl and 1,2-dihydroxylnaphthalene would tail or even totally disappear.
