Use of N,N-bis(2-cyanoethyl) Formamide as a Liquid Phase for Gas Chromatography

Abstract

MANY liquid phases for gas chromatography have been developed since the advent of this technique. Usually these liquid phases have been used for specific problems. One of the most versatile of the liquid phases, β,β′-oxydipropionitrile, was first used by Tenney1. This phase has since become a standard of the highly selective polar compounds. One disadvantage which this material possesses is its relatively high vapour pressure.
