Thin-Layer Chromatography of Some Inorganic Complexes Using Microcrystalline Cellulose as the Separation Medium

Abstract
Microcrystalline cellulose as an adsorbent in inorganic thin-layer chromatography has been successfully applied to the separation of several cobalt complexes in a variety of solvent systems. The analogy between paper, ion-exchange, and silica-gel chromatographic separations is discussed.
