For the first time, a homochiral metal-organic framework membrane was prepared for the enantioselective separation of important chiral compounds, especially chiral drug intermediates, which will allow for the potential development of a new, sustainable and highly efficient chiral separation technique.

Separation of metallic and semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is of great importance for SWCNT-based nano-electronics. We propose a tandem extraction strategy for efficient separation of different types of SWCNTs. This strategy is based on chiral angle discriminated adsorption of soluble condensed benzenoid aromatic molecules on SWCNTs, which induce different dispersibility ...

Carvedilol is administered as a racemic mixture of the R(+)- and S(-)-enantiomers, although it was demonstrated that the two enantiomers exhibit different pharmacological effects and stereoselective pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was the evaluation of several native and derivatized cyclodextrines as chiral selectors for the separation of carvedilol enantiomers. Stereoselective interact...

The increasing demand for enantiopure drugs has led to the development of a variety of stereoselective separation technologies. Among them, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is well recognized as a powerful, fast and efficient technique, which has been successfully employed for analysis and preparation of enantiomers of drugs. Nowadays, liquid chromatographic techniques are the focu...

Molecules that only differ by their chirality, so-called enantiomers, often possess different properties with respect to their biological function. Therefore, the separation of enantiomers presents a prominent challenge in molecular biology and has long been a main pursuit of organic chemistry. We suggest a new separation technique for chiral molecules that is based on the transport properties ...

The enantiomeric separation of basic drugs was successfully demonstrated by using a novel chiral microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC). An interesting finding was that the chiral oil core ((S)-(+)-2-octanol) within the microemulsion droplets appeared to play an important role in the chiral separation mechanism. In addition, the enantioselectivity of the analyte-selector complex co...

The separation of molecules with similar size and shape is an important technological challenge. For example, rare gases can pose either an economic opportunity or an environmental hazard and there is a need to separate these spherical molecules selectively at low concentrations in air. Likewise, chiral molecules are important building blocks for pharmaceuticals, but chiral enantiomers, by defi...
