title: Molecular recognition properties of tartrates and metal-tartrates in solution and gas phase.
abstract: Solution phase and gas phase chiral molecular recognition properties of tartrates (salts or esters of tartaric acid) and metal tartrates (binuclear tartrato(4-)-metal-bridged complexes) are reviewed in conjunction with their applications in enantiomeric separation science and their mass spectrometric chiral discrimination properties.
