The use of electron-acceptor reagents for the non-destructive detection of some aromatic hydrocarbons and related compounds

Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A procedure is described for the location and identification of some polycyclic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds on thin layers by the use of several different electron-acceptors as spray reagents. The mass spectra of the coloured complexes, thus formed, if recorded at different temperatures, often allow the structure of both the donor and acceptor moieties of the complex to be determined.

Zusammenfassung

Ein Verfahren zur Lokalisierung und Identifizierung einiger polycyklischer Kohlenwasserstoffe und Heterocyklen auf Dünnschichten durch Sprühen mit verschiedenen Elektronenacceptoren wurde beschrieben. Die bei verschiedenen Temperaturen aufgenommenen Massenspektren der dabei entstandenen, gefärbten Komplexe ermöglichen die Strukturermittlung sowohl für den Donor- wie für den Acceptoranteil des Komplexes.
