Abstract
A simple, sensitive system has been developed for detecting oxidizable compounds that are eluted from chromatographic columns. It relies upon the production of fluorescent cerium(III) by the reaction of eluted compounds with cerium(IV) solution. When coupled with a modified ultraviolet-monitored anion-exchange chromatograph, this system provides excellent resolution and sensitivity in the analytical determination of aromatic organic acids.
