Abstract:
The interest of using ionic liquids (ILs) as stationary phases in gas chromatography (GC) has increased in recent years. This is largely due to the fact that new classes of ILs are being developed that are capable of satisfying many of the requirements of GC stationary phases. This review highlights the major requirements of GC stationary phases and describes how molten salts/ILs can be designed to largely meet these needs. The retention characteristics of organic solutes will be discussed for ammonium, pyridinium, and phosphonium-based molten salts followed by imidazolium, pyridinium, pyrollidinium, and phosphonium-based IL stationary phases. The versatility of ILs allows for the development of stationary phases based on dicationic ILs, polymeric ILs, and IL mixtures. To aid in choosing the appropriate IL stationary phase for a particular separation, the reader is guided through the different types of stationary phases available to identify those capable of providing the desired separation selectivity of organic solutes while allowing for flexibility in ranges of temperature used throughout the separation.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
