V. BASIC THEORY
A. Chromatography
Analytical separations may be classified in three ways: by the physical state of the
mobile phase and stationary phase; by the method of contact between the mobilephase and
stationary phase; or by the chemical or physical mechanism responsiblefor separating the
samples constituents. The mobile phase is usually a liquid or agas, and the stationary phase,
when present, is a solid or a liquid film coated on asolid surface. Chromatographic techniques
are often named by listing the type ofmobile phase, followed by the type of stationary phase.
(David Harvey, 2000: 546)
B. Thin Layer Chromatography
Programming of mobile-phase properties in thin layer chromatography (TLC)
naturally, in many cases, influences substantially the separation of the analyzed mixtures. For
example, if the programming of the mobile-phase composition (and of, consequently, its
properties) is implemented before a chromatographic plate, there are methods and devices
developed for their implementation. In the given review, the new variant of TLC with the
programming of composition and properties of a mobile phase (MP) is described. The new
method of programming is the result of dissolving the active volatile reagent being in the
chamber atmosphere and dissolving in the MP migrating on the plate adsorption layer. The
active volatile compounds (the modifiers) as a result of dissolving in the MP change the
properties of the latter in a direction necessary for an experimenter. It is interesting to note
that according to the generally opinion, presence of a gas phase in contact with a TLC plate is
considered as a negative factor of TLC by most of the researches. However, a gas phasehas
been shown by us to play a positive role as well, improving separation of analyzed mixtures.

The given review is devoted to the description of the bases of the new TLC method
with a controlled gas phase (TLC-CGP). The authors hope that the method described will
arouse the readers interest and wish to use this method in ones work and to propose new
variants of its further development and practical application.
( Eli Grushka and Nelu Grinberg, 2014: 283)
Chromatography means a method of analysis in which a mobile phase passes over a
phase in such a way that a mixture of substances is separated into its components. The term
thin-layer chromatography, introduced by E. Stahl in 1956, means achromatographic
separation process in which the stationary phase consists of a thinlayer applied to a solid
substrate or support. For some years, TLC has alsobeen referred to as planar
chromatography. However, apart from the fact that paper.
An essential precondition is that the substances or mixtures of substances to be
analyzed should be soluble in a solvent or mixture of solvents.
TLC is used if:
the substances are nonvolatile or of low volatility
the substances are strongly polar, of medium polarity, nonpolar or ionic
a large number of samples must be analyzed simultaneously, cost-effectively, andwithin
a limited period of time
the samples to be analyzed would damage or destroy the columns of LC
(liquidchromatography) or GC (gas chromatography)
the solvents used would attack the sorbents in LC column packings
the substances in the material being analyzed cannot be detected by the methods ofLC or
GC or only with great difficulty
after the chromatography, all the components of the sample have to be detectable(remain
at the start or migrate with the front)
the components of a mixture of substances after separation have to be detected
individually or have to be subjected to various detection methods one after the other(e.g.
in drug screening)
no source of electricity is available

Preparation of the plate
In thin-layer chromatography a variety of coating materials is available, but silica
gel is most frequently used. A slurry of the adsorbent (silica gel, cellulose powder, etc.) is
spread uniformly over the plate by means of one of the commercial forms of spreader, the
recommended thickness of adsorbent layer being 150-250 pm. After air-drying overnight, or
oven-drying at 80-90 OC for about 30 minutes, it is ready for use. Ready to use thin-layers
(i.e. pre-coated plates or plastic sheets) are commercially available; the chief advantage of
plastic sheets is that they can be cut to any size or shape required, but they have the
disadvantage that they bend in the chromatographic tank unless supported. Two points of
practical importance may be noted here:
1. care should be exercised in handling the plate to avoid placing fingers on the active
adsorbent surface and so introducing extraneous substances;
2. pre-washing of the plate is advisable in order to remove extraneous material contained
in the layer, and this may be done by running the development solvent to the top of
the plate
Development of plates
The chromatogram is usually developed by the ascending technique in which the
plate is immersed in the developing solvent (redistilled or chromatographic grade solvent
should be used) to a depth of 0.5 cm. The tank or chamber used is preferably lined with
sheets of filter paper which dip into the solvent in the base of the chamber; this ensures that
the chamber is saturated with solvent vapour (Fig. 8.6). Development is allowed to proceed
until the solvent front has travelled the required distance (usually 10-15 cm), the plate is then
removed from the chamber and the solvent front immediately marked with a pointed object.
The plate is allowed to dry in a fume cupboard or in an oven; the drying conditions
should take into account the heat- and light-sensitivity of the separated compounds. The
positions of the separated solutes can be located by various methods. Coloured substances
can be seen directly when viewed against the stationary phase whilst colourless species may
usually be detected by spraying the plate with an appropriate reagent which produces
coloured areas in the regions which they occupy.

C. TLC Solvent Choice
When you need to determine the best solvent or mixture of solvents (a "solvent
system") to develop a TLC plate or chromatography column loaded with an unknown
mixture, vary the polarity of the solvent in several trial runs: a process of trial and error.
Carefully observe and record the results of the chromatography in each solvent system. You
will find that as you increase the polarity of the solvent system, all the components of the
mixture move faster (and vice versa with lowering the polarity). The ideal solvent system is
simply the system that gives the best separation.
TLC elution patterns usually carry over to column chromatography elution patterns.
Since TLC is a much faster procedure than column chromatography, TLC is often used to
determine the best solvent system for column chromatography. For instance, in determining
the solvent system for a flash chromatography procedure, the ideal system is the one that
moves the desired component of the mixture to a TLC Rf of 0.25-0.35 and will separate this
component from its nearest neighbor by difference in TLC Rf values of at least 0.20.
Therefore a mixture is analyzed by TLC to determine the ideal solvent(s) for a flash
chromatography procedure.
Beginners often do not know where to start: What solvents should they pull off the
shelf to use to elute a TLC plate? Because of toxicity, cost, and flammability concerns, the
common solvents are hexanes (or petroleum ethers/ligroin) and ethyl acetate (an ester).
Diethyl ether can be used, but it is very flammable and volatile. Alcohols (methanol, ethanol)
can be used. Acetic acid (a carboxylic acid) can be used, usually as a small percentage
component of the system, since it is corrosive, non-volatile, very polar, and has irritating
-
Thin Layer Chromatograph Page 5
vapors. Acetone (a ketone) can be used. Methylene chloride or and chloroform (halogenated
hydrocarbons) are good solvents, but are toxic and should be avoided whenever possible. If
two solvents are equal in performance and toxicity, the more volatile solvent is preferred in
chromatography because it will be easier to remove from the desired compound after
isolation from a column chromatography procedure.

The easiest way to choose the proper eluen that used ring concentrated method. The
result that obtained is compared with this picture:

D. Rf Factor
TheRf factor is used for the qualitative evaluation of a TLC separation. It is the
quotient of the distance of the substance zone from the sample origin to the front ofthe mobile
phase (zf). Historically, Goppelsrder was the first person to use thisRfvalue (relation to front
expression) to characterize planar separations.
where
zs distance of the substance zone from the sample origin (mm)
solvent from migration distance (mm)
distance between the immersion line and sample origin (mm)
By definition, theRf value cannot exceed 1. To avoid the decimal point, theRfvalue is
sometimes multiplied by 100 and then described as the hRf value. The value of the retardation
factor in a given separation system at constant temperaturedepends entirely on the
characteristic properties of the separated substances. It is important for identification
purposes that Rfvalues are accurate and reproducible,but this is difficult to achieve, since it is
almost impossible to adequately control all the experimental conditions that influence the
separation process.
This problem is avoided by defining a retardation factor for a standard
substance(Rst) that has been already separated in the system:
Here,
distance of the substance zone from the sample origin (mm)
distance of the standard substance zone from the sample origin (mm)

E. Ring oven technique
This technique relates to the testing of a single droplet of solution on a filter paper to
determine the components of the solution. The solution was dropped once on the center of the
filter paper (circular), then one or more components of the sample will be bound to the paper
by precipitation. Components dissolved moved with a suitable solvent so that the shift from
the center to the edges of the filter paper. For the solution reaches the edge, solvent
evaporation occurs and solute will be left behind in an area in the form of rings showed that
the separation of droplets spotting early.

IX. EXPLANATION
1. Preparation of sample
Thin layer cromatography experiment has purpose todetermine the proper
composition of eluen using concentrated ring method and determine the value of Rf from
plant dye using thin layer chromatography plate. First we had to prepare the sample. We used
ripe tumerics and pandan suji leafs as sample. We cleaned tumerics and pandan suji leafs.
Than we grinded the tumerics, orange (++) and pandan suji leafs (+++) until smooth. After
that we weighed the tumerics and pandan suji leafs, the tumerics was ----gram and pandan
suji leafs was -----gram. Then we dissolved the pandan suji leafs with 10 mL of methanol,
colourless. And we dissolved the tumerics with 10 mL of ethanol, colourless solution. We did
it to dissolve the content of panadan suji and tumeric.
Pandan suji has a substance called chlorophyll, chlorophyll had green dye in its
leafs, while there was a substance in turmeric called carotenoids which gave a strong yellow
color of turmeric that was carotene. Both of these campound was easy to be studied its
chromatographic process.
The structure of chlorophyll A
The structure of chlorophyll B
-
Thin Layer Chromatograph Page 17
And the structure of carotenoids
Chlorophyll was organic compound that had a properties of hydrocarbon like which
is non polar hydrocarbon compound with the polar part of carbonyl group. Chlorophyll B had
aldehyde group which was more polar than alkene group of chlorophyll A. In suji leafs,
chlorophyll A was more dominant. We used methanol as solvent because methanol was the
most polar alcohol, and chlorophyll easy to dissolve in alcohol.
Tumeric contain-carotene and -carotene, both of them were non polar and soluble
to less polar organic solvent like alcohol. Ethanol was less polar organic solvent. So tumeric
was soluble in ethanol.
We set aside the mixture of pandan suji leaf with methanol and the mixture of
tumeric with ethanol for 20 minutes, to give the time for the chlorophyll of pandan suji
dissolved in methanol and the carotene in tumeric dissolved in ethanol, until the colour of the
solution became dark enough, it was a sign that the content of tumeric dissolved in ethanol
and pandan suji leave dissolved in methanol. The colour of tumerics and ethanol became
orangish yellow (+++) and the colour of pandan suji leafs with methanol was green (+++).
After that we did decantation to the mixture of tumeric with ethanol using spatula
and we put the filtrate into separated funnel and the residue still in beaker glass. The residue
was orangish yellow (+++) and the filtrate was orangish yellow (+++). And we did
decantation to the mixture of pandan suji leafs with methanol and using spatula and we put
the filtrate into separated funnel and the residue still in beaker glass. The colour of residue
was green (+++) and the colour of filtrate was green (+++). Decantation process was
-carotene
-carotene
-
Thin Layer Chromatograph Page 18
preferred over maintaining the filtration due to chlorophyll pigments in the filtrate. If using a
filtration process, chlorophyll possible to be filtered on filter paper. Similarly, the carotene
pigment in turmeric, decantation process used was for maintaining the carotene pigment.If
using a filtration process, carotene possible to be filtered on filter paper.
Then both of the filtrate was extracted in separated funnel with the addition of
semipolar solvent of chloroform, colourless solution. We shaked the separating funnel and we
opened the faucet to exit the gas result from chloroform. The addition of chloroform due to
get pure chlorophyll and carotene from other contaminants in water phase. The organic phase
and the water phase of pandan suji extract and tumeric extract separated. Both of them form
two layer. In pandan suji leafs, the upper layer was yellow turbid solution and the bottom
layer was green (++) solution. In tuemric, the upper layer was yellow turbid solution and the
bottom layer was yellow (++) solution. The bottom layer was used for analysis, so we got the
colour of tumeric extract was yellow solution (++). The colour of pandan suji extract was
green (++) solution.
2. Preparation of plate
We prepared plate 4 plates, two plates size 3 cm x 5 cm and two plates size 2 cm x 5
cm. We sign 6 dots in in plate size 3 cm x 5 cm, the distance between dots was 1 cm. We
gave name A, B, C, D, E, and F. The purpose of the distance of each dots was for gave place
for the sample development. And the dots was given to make the development of sample and
its spread clearer, the pencil dots not react with sample and eluen. We signed the plates with
size 2 cm x 5 cm, 1 cm from bottom border and 0,5 cm from upper border with pencil. We
gave two dots and gave name A and B. Then we put the plates in oven for 10 minutes. The
purpose we put the plates in oven was for activate the stationary in plate and removed the
water content in plates. The content of water in plates would affected the sample
development, if there was water content the sample development process would be slow and
affected the value of Rf.
3. Preaparation of eluen and concentrated ring
Composition of 6 eluens which were supplied in analytics laboratory:
Eluen A composed by comparison of hexane : chloroform : ethanol = 1 : 4,5 : 4,5
Eluen B composed by comparison of hexane : chloroform : ethanol = 3 : 4 : 3
Eluen C composed by comparison of hexane : chloroform : ethanol = 3 : 3 : 4
Eluen D composed by comparison of hexane : chloroform : ethanol = 4 : 3 : 3
Eluen E composed by comparison of hexane : chloroform : ethanol = 4,5 : 4,5 : 1
-
Thin Layer Chromatograph Page 19
Eluen F composed by comparison of hexane : chloroform : ethanol = 4,5 : 1 : 4,5.
All the eluen above was colourless solution, hexane was non polar solution,
chloroform was semipolar solution, and ethanol was polar solution. After the plate was ready
to be used. We dropped each dots of plate 3 cm x 5 cm with tumeric extract and the other
plate 3 cm x 5 cm with pandan suji extract used capillary pipe. We used capillary pipe
because capillary pipe was small enough to use for dropped the sample and eluen. After that
we dropped the eluen A, B, C, D, E, and F in each dots A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Dot A, B, C, D and F showed the spot was spread far from the initial spot, so eluen
A, B, C, D, and F was too polar. The eluen E was polar enough for tumeric sample and
pandan suji leafs. The result was based on the spread of spot in concentrated ring was not too
far and not too small, it was said the spread was enough.
4. Dropping in concentrated ring and determination of Rf
For determine Rf we put filter paper into glass, we put of 5 mL of right eluen based
on concentrated ring, eluen E was the right eluen based on our experiment that we would
explain more in dropping in concentrated ring. And we closed the glass chamber until filter
paper all soaked. The function of filter paper was for knowing the saturated of eluen in
chamber. The wet of filter paper showed that the chamber was saturated with vapor of
solvent. We closed the glass to make the chamber was saturated with the eluen.
The plates with size 2 cm x 5 cm, 1 cm from bottom border and 0,5 cm from upper
border with pencil. We gave two dots and gave name A and B. Each dots we dropped with
tumeric extract, and the other plate we dropped with pandan suji extract. We opened the
chamber and we put the plate used tweezers, the bottom part of plates must touched the
bottom of chamber and the plates must be upright so the spot would not be sloping. We set
aside until the eluen reached the upper border of plate. We took the plate, and we marked the
spot with pencil while we dried the plates then we covered with cellophane tape. We got
Concentrated ring of Pandan Suji Concentrated ring of Tumeric
-
Thin Layer Chromatograph Page 20
three spot for tumeric extract and two spot for panadan suji extract. We should get 6 spot of
pandan suji extract but we just got two, we woul discuss in discussion.
The next step was calculated the Rf of tumeric extract and pandan suji extract. We
used formula
Rf determination of Pandan Suji Rf determination of Tumeric
-
Thin Layer Chromatograph Page 21
From the calculation that we showed in attachment we got the Rf of tumeric extract was
= 0,727; = 0,818; = 0,864. And Rf of pandan suji extract was = 0,773; =
0,982.
X. DISCUSSION
In the experiment to determine the Rf of pandan suji we just got two spot because we
did not do the procedure well. We did not mark and cover the plate directly. The eluen
and spot had been evaporated, and got two spot only.
XI. CONCLUSION
From the experiment that we did, we could conclude that:
1. Based on explanation that we did about concentrated ring in pandan suji and tumeric
sample the suitable eluen was eluen E which composed by the comparison of hexane :
chloroform : ethanol = 4,5 : 4,5 : 1; because the spot of eluen E was polar enough, the
spread of sample from the initial spot was not too far.
2. The value of Rf in tumeric and pandna betawi dye pigment as follows:
A. Rf of tumeric: = 0,727; = 0,818; = 0,864
B. Rf of pandan suji: = 0,773; = 0,982.
XII. QUESTION AND ANSWER
1. What will happen if eluen that used as solvent in Thin Layer Chromatography too
polar or less polar? Why?
If the eluen that used in TLC was too polar, the spot that we dropped in plate
would up to upper border without any sepration because there were no interaction
between eluen and the stationary phase in plate which was non polar.
If the plate that used as TLC was less polar, the spot that dropped in plate would
not be move because non polar eluen would get interaction with the stationary
phase in plate which was non polar.
2. What is the function of filter paper in the experiment determination of Rf?
The function of filter paper in the experiment determination of Rf was for knowing the
saturated of eluen in the chamber, it is marked by the all part of filter paper is wet.
3. Why the surface of Thin Layer Chromatography can not be broken?
-
Thin Layer Chromatograph Page 22
The surface of TLC can not be broken because can affect the spot separation result in
development of spot. If the stationary phase is broken, the line of spot is broken or
disconnect and affect the value of Rf.
4. Why the TLC plate that used must be heat in oven?
Thin layer that we used must be dried first in oven in temperature 1100 before we used
to remove the water molecule that binded and activate the stationary phase of plate
(absorbent).
5. Why the upper border and bottom boder of plate must be marked with pencil?
We used pencil as border to make it clear the upper and bottom border, and pencil not
react with solvent and sample.If we used bolpoint, the spot of bolpoint would eluted
and develop.
