ABSTRACT

Dye-ligand chromatography is a powerful technique used in analytical chemistry to separate and analyse complex mixtures. This method involves the use of two different ligands, each with a distinct chemical affinity towards specific molecules in the mixture. By combining these ligands in a single chromatographic column, scientists can achieve enhanced separation and detection capabilities, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the sample under investigation. The principle behind dye ligand chromatography is based on the concept of selectivity. Different ligands have different affinities for specific types of molecules, allowing for the separation of the mixture into its individual components. This selectivity is essential in achieving accurate and reliable results in analytical chemistry.

Keywords: Complex mixtures, dye ligand, chemical affinity, selectivity.
