Analysis of crocetane in crude oils and sediments: novel stationary phases for use in GC-MS

Cyclodextrin GC stationary phases, well documented for their superior isomeric separation capabilities, have been investigated in the separation of crocetane (2,6,11,15-tetramethylhexadecane) and phytane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylhexadecane). Although crocetane has been attributed to methane oxidizing a...
