Acta Chromatographica No. 7, 149-158 (1997). TLC of nitro- and azaarenes (nitronaphthalene, nitrofluorene, nitroanthracene, nitropyrene, quinoline, azafluorene, benzo(h)quinoline) on silica with acetonitrile - water 9:1 for nitroarenes and methanol - water for azaarenes. Detection under UV 254 and 366 nm and by spraying with specific reagents for the detection of functional groups: 15 % tin(II) chloride in 36 % hydrochloric acid and p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde for nitroarenes and Dragendorff's reagent for azaarenes. Detection limit for nitroarenes 25 - 100 ng, for azaarenes 50 - 100 ng.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 28, 139-143 (2015). TLC of 16 polyaromatic hydrocarbons on RP-18 phase. In the first direction, the plate is developed twice with n-pentane at -20 °C, and in the second direction with acetonitrile - methanol - water 12:8:3:3. Both developments were carried out over a distance of 43 mm. Detection by chemiluminescence: a solution of 225 mg Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate dissolved in 45 mL of n-butyl acetate was prepared. 125 μL hydrogen peroxide 30 % were vigorously shaken with this solution for 20 min. The mixture is suitable for chemiluminescence measurements within a period of 48 h. The best results were observed when the plate was dipped in this solution for 1 s and dried until no light reflection could be seen on the surface. Then, the TLC plate was covered by a glass plate and measured for 1 min using a very light-sensitive CCD camera. The proposed chemiluminescence screening method is able to separate PAHs from PAH oxidation products and detects benzo[a]pyrene and perylene with a LOD of 95 pg/band for benzo[a]pyrene and 48 pg/band for perylene. Although these compounds were separated from all other PAHs in the standard, a separation of both compounds was not possible from one another.
