<p><span>A preparative adsorption column chromatographic method is reported for the separation of </span><i>cis</i><span> and </span><i>trans</i><span> geometrical isomers of two types of N-nitrosamines derived from allylic terpenyl ethanolamines (experimental fish toxicants). Column eluates were monitored by gas chromatography in which a Carbowax 20M stationary phase was used. Further separation of </span><i>E</i><span> and </span><i>Z</i><span> configurational isomers was achieved by reversed-phase and normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. In the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography system (acetonitrilewater), the 6′,7′-acetylenic nitrosamines (NMOA) were efficiently resolved by using an argentous (AgNO</span><sub>3</sub><span>) mobile phase, whereas the presence of sodium alkanesulfonate in the aqueous acetonitrile mobile phase favored the base-line resolution of the 6′,7′-olefinic nitrosamines (NDOA). For normal-phase separation on a silica column, addition of tetrahydrofuran to the mobile phase (methylene chloride-2-propanol) resulted in a varying degree of improvement in peak resolution (</span><i>R</i><span>) and column selectivity (α). Effects of temperature on the chromatographic behavior of the nitrosamine components are described. The high-performance liquid chromatographic separation method has proved to be applicable for the trace analysis of the title nitrosamines in organic tissues by way of thermal energy analysis.</span></p>
