Chromatography with silver nitrate is a well known and established methodology for the separation of non polar compounds with similar polarities. Generally, with a mixture of unsaturated compounds such as alkenes, lipids, steroids, terpenes, etc, standard separation procedures lack in efficiency. However, by using SiliaBond® Silver Nitrate for your column chromatography along with SiliaPlate™ Ag for your TLC, you will have the necessary tools to circumvent the problem. The theory behind this separation is based on the fact that silver ions can complex with unsaturated compounds (π bond). This kind of chromatography with silver nitrate impregnated silica gel is very easy to perform and is well documented.1-4
