Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic system is presented for determination of organonitro pesticides, metabolites and industrial chemicals having a variety of chemical structures. The compounds are chromatographed on a C 8 column with an acetonitrile-aqueous ammonium monochloroacetate gradient. The chromatographic responses of the compounds are monitored indirectly by oxidative detection of the coulometrically reduced organonitro functionality by means of a porous-graphite detector. Three nitrophenols (2,4-dinitrophenol,4,6-dinitro- o-cresol and dinoseb), a dinitrophenyl aliphatic ester (binapacryl) and a nitroaniline (dicloran) were detected at low nanogram levels (3–10 ng for 50% recorder full-scale deflection). This technique overcomes the problems of high background currents and oxygen interference, observed in the direct reductive detection of organonitro compounds.
