A sequential liquid chromatographic (LC) procedure for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in a petroleum crude oil and other complex mixtures is described. The procedure includes normal-phase LC on an aminosilane column to isolate fractions containing isomeric PAH and reversed-phase LC on a polymeric C/sub 18/ column to separate the individual PAH isomers. Appropriate perdeuterated PAH are added to the sample so that each isomeric fraction will contain one internal standard. The perdeuterated PAH are excellent internal standards for this sequential LC procedure. Perdeuterated PAH have normal-phase and reversed-phase LC retention characteristics similar to those of the parent PAH. In the normal-phase LC separation, the perdeuterated PAH elute in the same fraction as the parent PAH. In the reversed-phase LC separation, the perdeuterated PAH elute first and are generally resolved from the parent PAH.
