title: Hemispherodextrins, a new class of cyclodextrin derivatives, in capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: A capped cyclodextrin derivative (THCMH), called hemispherodextrin, was observed to behave as a very efficient chiral selector for a variety of phenoxyacid enantiomeric pairs, both at pH 6 and pH 9. The very low concentration necessary to obtain separation was particularly impressive. The behaviour of THCMH was compared with that of other hemispherodextrins and cyclodextrin derivatives and the conclusions are reported. Some interesting conclusions are drawn by comparing the behaviour of THCMH with that of other hemispherodextrins reported elsewhere.
