Effect of ternary complex formation on chromatographic selectivity using in situ complexation chromatography

In situ complexation chromatography is a relatively novel form of reversed-phase chromatography. A method for controlling selectivity via ternary complex formation is discussed. This method is potentially useful, not only for controlling separations but also for enhancing detection of metal species. Limitations of the methods are discussed. 30 references, 5 figures, 4 tables.
