Normal and Reversed Phase Thin-Layer Chromatography of Transition Metal Complexes of Monothio-β-Diketones

Abstract

Various groupings from eighty-two metal complexes of monothio-beta-diketones having different ligands, have been studied by normal and reversed phase thin-layer chromatography in single and binary solvent systems. The data is discussed in terms of keeping the ligand, RCSCHCOR', constant and varing the metal; keeping the metal constant and varying the R'-group of the ligand; keeping the metal constant and varying the R-group of the ligand.

Separation patterns are discussed in terms of choice of solvent systems and the magnitude of the R_f values are discussed with reference to the R and R'-groups of the ligand.
