“…Silica gel, loaded with cadmium by a hydrothermal treatment, was also used to separate aromatic amines (486). Silver-loaded silica gels (7, 177, 268, 290) and ion-exchange resins (313,314,471) separated cis-trans isomers of various compounds as well as electron-donor aromatic compounds in general: see Table II. A variant on this procedure is to use thallium (I), which binds ligands less strongly than silver (I) but reacts much more rapidly, giving better column efficiencies (427).…”
