Abstract
The mercuric salts of some unbranched alkane thiols were differentiated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using reversed-phase columns. A linear relationship was evident between the logarithm of capacity factors of the six mercaptides fractionated on a Zorbax ODS column and their carbon numbers. It was found, however, that mercury methane thiolate does not fit this linearity when separated on a gel 3013-O column. It was demonstrated that all the mercuric salts separated can be readily reduced with stannous chloride in sulfuric acid and that, in turn, the salts can be identified by determination of their mercury content using the flameless atomic absorption closed recirculating system.Keywords
