This review focuses on these developments, while giving important information on the fundamental parameters controlling the chelation sorption mechanism, including type of chelating group, stability constants, kinetics, and column temperature. The discussion pays particular attention to the types and properties of efficient chelating stationary phases which have been fabricated for certain groups of metals. The review also describes a number of major improvements in postcolumn reaction detection including the use of the latest reagents and noise reduction strategies to improve sensitivity and reduce LOD. In the final section, an indication of the applicability of HPCIC to a range of complex sample types is given with some key examples and chromatograms using the latest high-efficiency chelating phases. date: 2007 date_type: published publication: Journal of Separation Science volume: 30 number: 17 publisher: Wiley-VCH pagerange: 1773-1793 id_number: 10.1002/jssc.200700126 refereed: TRUE issn: 1615-9306 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jssc.200700126 citation: Nesterenko, PN and Jones, P (2007) Recent developments in the high-performance chelation ion chromatography of trace metals.
