What Factors Affect the Separation of Substances Using Thin-Layer Chromatography? An Undergraduate Experiment.
Nash, John J.; Meyer, Jeanne A.; Everson, Barbara
Journal of Chemical Education, v78 n3 p364-65 Mar 2001
Rx values in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) depend strongly on the solvent saturation of the atmosphere above the liquid in the TLC developing chamber. Presents an experiment illustrating the potentially dramatic effects on TLC Rx values of not equilibrating the solvent atmosphere during development. (ASK)
