Abstract

Substitution of hydrogen by deuterium in aromatic hydrocarbons can alter various properties significantly. Benzene, toluene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, biphenyl and durene are separated from their deuterium analogs by reversed-phase (C 18 liquid chromatography with acetonitrile/water mobile phases and ultraviolet detection. Deuterium compounds always elute before the hydrogen analog; possible explanations are given. The elution pattern and retention times of anthracene and phenanthrene were unchanged when D 2O replaced H 2O as the mobile phase component.
