title: Chiral separation based on ligand-exchange capillary electrophoresis using a copper(II)-L-ornithine ternary complex as selector.
abstract: A ligand-exchange capillary electrophoresis was explored, with L-ornithine as the ligand and copper(II) as the central ion. Its applicability was demonstrated with underivatized and dansyl amino acids, a dipeptide, and drugs with amino alcohol structure. The enantioselectivity was found to be strongly dependent on pH and copper(II)-L-Orn complex concentration. Due to the adsorption of the positively charged species onto the capillary inner walls, the chiral separation selectivity is very high while the efficiency is relatively low. Permanent 1,3-propanediamine-coated capillaries show an improved separation efficiency and theoretical plate numbers increasing from 10(4) to 10(5). Similar phenomena were observed when sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles were added to the copper(II) complex solution. The poor separation efficiency of chiral compounds in uncoated capillaries may result from the low rate of the ligand-exchange reactions, and the high enantioselectivity may derive from the complexing process in the adsorbed phase.
