Nitrophthalic acid exist in the form of two isomers: 3-nitrophthalic and 4-nitrophthalic acid. Both forms have similar hydrophobicity and ionic properties. Isomers of nitrophthalic acid are separated on Primesep D column by combination of reverse phase and anion-exchange mechanisms. Method developed on a short-50 mm- column and allows fast analysis of these two isomers.
The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A , AH , B , and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
