title: Contributions to the theory and practice of the chromatographic separation of enantiomers.
abstract: The theory and practice of enantioselective capillary chromatography employing metal coordination compounds and modified cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases are treated. A unified approach involving all contemporary chromatographic methods and a single enantioselective column is described. Reliable thermodynamic data of enantioselectivity are derived by the retention-increment method. The existence of an isoenantioselective temperature is demonstrated. Kinetic enantiomerization studies are presented. The preparative-scale separation of enantiomers by gas chromatography with enantioselective packed columns is achieved. Unusual phenomena and future aspects of enantioselective chromatography are discussed.
