The focus of this review is on current developments in monolithic stationary phases for the fast analysis of inorganic ions and other small molecules in ion chromatography (IC) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC), concentrating in particular on the properties of organic (polymer) monolithic materials in comparison to inorganic (silica‐based) monoliths. The applicability of these materials for fast IC is discussed in the context of recent publications, including the range of synthesis and modification procedures described. While commercial monolithic silica columns already show promising results on current IC instrumentation, polymer‐based monolithic stationary phases are currently predominantly used in the capillary format on modified micro‐IC systems. However, they are beginning to find application in IC particularly under high pH conditions, with the potential to replace their particle‐packed counterparts.
