      Use of alumina as stationary phase for thin layer chromatography of inorganic and organometallic compounds
      J. AHAMAD, (Senior Anal. Lab., Dept. of Appl. Chem., Z. H. Coll. of Eng. and Techn., Aligarh Muslim Univ., Aligarh-202002, India)

      J. Planar Chromatogr. 9, 236-246 (1996). Selective review - 94 references - of sixty years of literature covering thin layer chromatographic analysis of inorganic and organometallic compounds, limited to work performed on alumina layers as adsorbent. Of all the inorganic sorbents alumina is second to silica in frequency of use.

      Thin layer chromatography/mass spectrometry
      S.C. CHENG*, M.Z. HUANG, J. SHIEA (*Inst. of Forensic Med., Ministry of Justice, Taipei, Taiwan)

      J. Chromatogr. A 1218 (19), 2700-2711 (2011). A review on TLC coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) for direct identification and structural characterization of the analytes on TLC plates through an interface. According to differences in their operational processes of the TLC/MS techniques reported in the literature the existing TLC/MS systems can be classified into two categories: 1) indirect mass spectrometric analyses, performed by scraping, extracting, purifying, and concentrating the analyte from the TLC plate and then directing it into the mass spectrometer's ion source for further analysis; 2) direct mass spectrometric analyses, where the analyte on the TLC plate is characterized directly through mass spectrometry without the need for scraping, extraction, or concentration processes. Direct MS is conventionally performed under vacuum, but the development of ambient mass spectrometry has allowed analytes on TLC plates to be characterized under atmospheric pressure. Thus, TLC/MS techniques can also be classified into two other categories according to the working environment of the ion source: vacuum-based TLC/MS or ambient TLC/MS.

      Review of advances in thin-layer chromatography of pesticides
      J. SHERMA (Department of Chemistry, Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania 18042-1782, USA, shermaj@lafayette.edu)

      Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B 46, 557-568 (2011). Review on techniques and applications of TLC and HPTLC for separation, detection, qualitative and quantitative determination and preparative isolation of pesticides. Covered are sample preparation techniques, stationary phases, sample application, mobile phases, development methods using different chambers, detection under UV or by derivatization with various reagents, identification based on hRf values or by online HPTLC-MS, quantification by scanning densitometry or videodensitometry, preparative layer chromatography and thin-layer radiochromatography. Various applications are described. In the review period especially forensic analyses of human and animal samples for pesticides were numerous. The identification and quantification of components from plant extracts with pesticide activity is also reviewed and it is expected that this area will be especially active in the future given the large amount of ongoing worldwide research on phytochemical compounds.
