Abstract
The stereospecific analysis of chiral molecules is an important issue in many scientific fields. In separation sciences, this is achieved via the formation of transient diastereomeric complexes between a chiral selector and the selectand enantiomers driven by molecular interactions including electrostatic, ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, van der Waals or π-π interactions as well as hydrogen or halogen bonds depending on the nature of selector and selectand. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular modeling methods are currently the most frequently applied techniques to understand the selector-selectand interactions at a molecular level and to draw conclusions on the chiral separation mechanism. The present short review summarizes some of the recent achievements for the understanding of the chiral recognition of the most important chiral selectors combining separation techniques with molecular modeling and/or spectroscopic techniques dating between 2020 and early 2024. The selectors include polysaccharide derivatives, cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptides, proteins, donor-acceptor type selectors, ion-exchangers, crown ethers, and molecular micelles. The application of chiral ionic liquids and chiral deep eutectic solvents, as well as further selectors, are also briefly addressed. A compilation of all published literature on chiral selectors has not been attempted.

Enantioseparation of a-substituted proline analogs with macrocyclic glycopeptide-based chiral stationary phases immobilized on superficially porous particles of silica applying liquid chromatography with ultraviolet and mass spectrometric detection.

Abstract
In this study, the liquid chromatography-based direct enantioseparation of the stereoisomers of α-substituted proline analogs has been investigated utilizing chiral stationary phases with UV and/or mass spectrometric (MS) detection. Macrocyclic antibiotics, such as vancomycin, teicoplanin, modified teicoplanin, and teicoplanin aglycone, all covalently immobilized to 2.7 μm superficially porous silica particles have been applied as stationary phases. Mobile phases utilizing mixtures of methanol and acetonitrile with different additives (polar-ionic mode) were optimized during method development. Best separations were achieved with mobile phases of 100% MeOH containing either 20 mM acetic acid or 20 mM triethylammonium acetate. Special attention was given to the applicability of MS-compatible mobile phases. Acetic acid was found to be advantageous as a mobile phase additive for MS detection. Enantioselective chromatographic behaviors are interpreted based on the explored correlations between the analytes' structural features and those of the applied chiral stationary phases. For the thermodynamic characterization, separations were studied in the temperature range of 5-50 °C. Generally, retention and selectivity decreased with increasing temperature, and in most cases, enthalpy-driven enantiorecognition was observed, but entropic contributions also were present. Unexpectedly, unusual shapes for the van Deemter curves were registered in the kinetic evaluations. General trends could be observed in the enantiomeric elution orders: S < R on VancoShell and NicoShell, and opposite R < S on TeicoShell and TagShell columns.

Abstract
Antibacterial bone biomaterial coatings appeal to orthopaedics, dentistry and veterinary medicine. Achieving the successful, stable conjugation of suitable compounds to biomaterial surfaces is a major challenge. A pragmatic starting point is to make use of existing, approved antibiotics which are known to remain functional in a stationary, immobilised state. This includes the macrocyclic glycopeptide, teicoplanin, following the discovery, in the 1990's, that it could be used as a chiral selector in chromatographic enantiomeric separations. Importantly teicoplanin works at the level of the bacterial cell wall making it a potential candidate for biomaterial functionalisations. We initially sought to functionalise titanium (Ti) with polydopamine and use this platform to capture teicoplanin, however we were unable to avoid the natural affinity of the antibiotic to the oxide surface of the metal. Whilst the interaction between teicoplanin and Ti was robust, we found that phosphate resulted in antibiotic loss. Before contemplating the covalent attachment of teicoplanin to Ti we examined whether a commercial teicoplanin stationary phase could kill staphylococci. Whilst this commercially available material could bind N-Acetyl-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala it was unable to kill bacteria. We therefore strongly discourage attempts at covalently immobilising teicoplanin and/or other glycopeptide antibiotics in the pursuit of novel antibacterial bone biomaterials.

Abstract
Separations and analyses of chiral compounds are important in many fields, including pharmaceutical production, preparation of chemical intermediates, and biochemistry. High-performance liquid chromatography using a chiral stationary phase is regarded as one of the most valuable methods for enantiomeric separation and analysis because it is highly efficient, is broadly applicable, and has powerful separation capability. The focus for development of this method is the identification of novel chiral stationary phases with superior recognition performance and good stability. The present article reviews recent progress in the development of new chiral stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography between January 2018 and June 2021. These newly reported chiral stationary phases are divided into three categories: small organic molecule-based (cyclodextrin and its derivatives, macrocyclic antibiotics, cinchona alkaloids, and other low molecular weight chiral molecules), macromolecule-based (cellulose and amylose derivatives, chitin and chitosan derivatives, and synthetic helical polymers) and chiral porous material-based (chiral metal-organic frameworks, chiral covalent organic frameworks, and chiral inorganic mesoporous silicas). Each type of chiral stationary phase is discussed in detail.
