Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), which are salts in a molten state below 100 °C, have become a hot topic of research in various fields because of their negligible vapour pressure, high thermal stability, and tunable viscosity. Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) can be applied in chromatography and capillary electrophoresis fields to improve the performance of enantiomeric separation, such as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and mobile phase additives in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); CSPs in gas chromatography (GC); and background electrolyte additives (BGE), chiral ligands and chiral selectors (CSs) in capillary electrophoresis (CE). This review focuses on the applications of CILs in HPLC and CE for the separation of enantiomers in the past five years. The mechanism for separating enantiomers was explained, and the prospect of the application of CILs in chiral liquid chromatography (LC) and CE analysis was also discussed.

Abstract
Herein, a chiral multishelled mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCNs) with unique spiral multishelled hollow mesoporous chiral structure is synthesized; the MCNs can be used as stationary phases for high-resolution gas chromatography (GC) and have good separation capacity. The successful preparation of MCNs is verified by a variety of characterizations. In addition, the MCNs-coated capillary column shows excellent separation performance for n-alkanes, n-alcohols, aromatic compounds, and esters, and it has a faster analysis time than the HP-5 commercial capillary column. The chromatography separation performance for various isomers and racemates of the MCNs stationary phase was evaluated, and it showed good separation capability for amino acid derivatives. The MCNs-coated capillary column has been demonstrated to present good reproducibility and stability. In summary, all of the chromatography experiments in this work indicate that this new stationary phase of the MCNs has good application potential for GC capillary separation.

Chiral metal organic frameworks (CMOFs) are a kind of crystal porous framework material that has attracted increasing attention due to the customizable combination of metal nodes and organic ligands. In particular, the highly ordered crystal structure and rich adjustable chiral structure make it a promising material for developing new chiral separation material systems. In this review, the progress of CMOFs and their different types of composites used as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in liquid chromatography for enantioseparation are discussed. The characteristics of CMOFs and their composites are summarized, aiming to provide new ideas for the development of CMOFs with better performance and further promote the application of CMOFs materials in enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Abstract
In this work, the vacuum-assisted thermal bonding method was proposed for the covalent coupling of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) (CD-CSP), hexamethylene diisocyanate cross-linked β-CD (HDI-CSP) and 3, 5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate modified β-CD (DMPI-CSP) onto the isocyanate silane modified silica gel. Under vacuum conditions, the side reaction due to the water residue from the organic solvent, air, reaction vessels and silica gel could be avoided, and the optimal temperature and time of vacuum-assisted thermal bonding method were determined as 160°C and 3 h. These three CSPs were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, elemental analysis and the nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The surface coverage of CD-CSP and HDI-CSP on silica gel was determined as ∼0.2 μmol m-2, respectively. The chromatographic performances of these three CSPs were systematically evaluated by separating 7 flavanones, 9 triazoles and 6 chiral alcohols enantiomers under the reversed-phase condition. It was found that the chiral resolution ability of CD-CSP, HDI-CSP and DMPI-CSP was complementary to each other. Among them, CD-CSP could separate all 7 flavanones enantiomers with the resolution of 1.09-2.48. HDI-CSP had a good separation performance for triazoles enantiomers with one chiral center. DMPI-CSP showed excellent separation performance for chiral alcohol enantiomers, among which the resolution of trans-1, 3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-ol reached 12.01. Generally, the vacuum-assisted thermal bonding had been demonstrated as a direct and efficient method for the preparation of chiral stationary phases of β-CD and its derivatives.

Abstract
A spherical chiral porous organic polymer (POPs) COP-1 is synthesized by the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of Boc-3-(4-biphenyl)-L-alanine (BBLA) and 4,4'-bis(chloromethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (BCMBP), which was used as a novel chiral stationary phase (CSPs) for mixed-mode high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) enantioseparation. The racemic compounds were resolved in normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) using n-hexane/isopropanol as mobile phase and reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) using methanol/water as mobile phase. The COP-1-packed column exhibited excellent separation performance toward various racemic compounds including alcohols, amines, ketones, esters, epoxy compounds, organic acids, and amino acids in NPLC and RPLC modes. The effects of analyte mass and column temperature on the separation efficiency of racemic compounds were investigated. In addition, the chiral resolution ability of the COP-1-packed column not only can be complementary in RPLC/NPLC modes but also exhibit a good chiral recognition complementarity with Chiralpak AD-H column and chiral porous organic cage (POC) NC1-R column. The relative standard deviations (RSD) (n = 5) of the retention time, resolution value, and peak area by repeated separation of 1-(4-chiorophenyl)ethanol are all below 3.0%. The COP-1 column shows high column efficiency (e.g., 17,320 plates m-1 for 1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol on COP-1 column in NPLC), high enantioselectivity, and good reproducibility toward various racemates. This work demonstrates that chiral POPs microspheres are promising chiral materials for HPLC enantioseparation.

Abstract
Polyimine macrocycles are a new class of organic macrocycles with cyclic structures, well-defined molecular cavities, and multiple cooperative binding sites, which have recently aroused considerable research interest in molecular recognition and separation. Herein, we report the bonding of a [3+3] chiral polyimine macrocycle (H3L, C78H78N6O3) on thiol-functionalized silica gel using thiol-ene click chemistry to prepare a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The fabricated column exhibited excellent chiral separation capability under both normal-phase and reversed-phase conditions. Fourteen and 10 racemates were well resolved on the column in normal-phase mode (using n-hexane/isopropanol as the mobile phase) and reversed-phase mode (using methanol/water as the mobile phase), respectively, including alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, epoxides and organic acids. Moreover, the column also shows good selectivity toward positional isomers. Six positional isomers (dinitrobenzene, chloroaniline, bromoaniline, iodoaniline, nitrobrobenzene and nitrochlorobenzene) were well separated on the column. In addition, the effects of the injection mass and mobile phase composition on the separation were investigated. The column shows good reproducibility and stability after multiple injections with the relative standard deviation (RSD) (n = 5) of the retention time and resolution being < 0.96 % and 0.65 %, respectively. This study indicates that this type of chiral polyimine macrocycles is a promising chiral selector for HPLC enantioseparation and will push forward the applications of more novel chiral macrocycles for chiral chromatographic separation.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography is the most applied methodology for enantioseparation in preparative and semi-preparative scale; however, flash chromatography is seldom the first choice. This work proposes a new sustainable method to achieve pure enantiomers in mg scale. Herein, the functionalization of silica for flash chromatography columns with a suitable chiral selector, for subsequent quantitative enantioseparation of chiral compounds, is described. Accordingly, the Whelk-O®1 chiral selector was bonded to flash silica and packed into a reused solid phase extraction cartridge. For the evaluation of the enantioselective performance of the flash column, the enantiomers of a chiral derivative of xanthone were quantitatively enantioseparated with an average recovery of 70% and an enantiomer ratio (e.r.) of 99% and 97% for each enantiomer. Evaluation with the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen was also performed, resulting in an average recovery of 95% and 89% and 95% e.r. for each enantiomer. The flash column showed high stability and load ability, versatility, and good reproducibility.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are two dimensional (2D) or three dimensional (3D) porous crystalline materials constructed by Hydrogen bond interaction. In recent years, a variety of functional HOF materials have been successfully synthesized and used in structural identification, environmental pollutant removal, chiral resolution, drug delivery, fluorescence sensing, etc. Here, we first reported that a HOF to coated capillary column for high-resolution gas chromatographic separation of a wide range of analytes, including n-alkanes, n-alcohols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and positional isomers, especially for racemates, the HOFs column showed excellent separation repeatability and reproducibility. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values for the retention times were in the range of 0.37-2.43% for run to run (n = 3), 0.38-2.51% for day-to-day (n = 3), and 0.31-2.54% for column-to-column (n = 3), respectively. Moreover, we applied density-functional theory to calculate the adsorption of enantiomers in HOF structures. This work proved that the HOFs had great application prospects as stationary phase in gas chromatography.

Abstract
The present work systematically investigates the chemical microheterogeneity as part of the optimization of a single-step surface bonding chemistry of 3-mercaptopropylsilatrane (MPS) on mesoporous silica gel in comparison to the state-of-the-art silane chemistry with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS). MPS functionalization turns out to be a favourable chemistry for the further use in thiol-ene click reactions such as the immobilization of chiral selectors, herein tert-butylcarbamoylquinine (tBuCQN), for the synthesis of chiral stationary phases (CSPs). MPS has higher reactivity than MPTMS and prefers the formation of trifunctional siloxane bondings unlike MPTMS which favours difunctional siloxane bonds to silica, as investigated by solid-state cross-polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR (29Si and 13C nuclei). Reaction conditions (ternary mixtures of methanol, water and toluene; with and without acid; prewetting of silica; HCl pretreatment of silica) were evaluated with the aim to find conditions which promote the formation of a horizontal siloxane polymer layer on top of the silica surface. Silanization reaction times could be reduced to 2 h. The 29Si NMR signal corresponding to trifunctional siloxane bonding could be increased to 60% with no T1 signal that refers to monofunctional siloxane bonding in spite of water in the ternary reaction mixture. Furthermore, no significant disulfide bridges were formed in this approach, leading to high selector loadings. The thiol and selector coverage reached up to 4.6 and 1.4 µmol/m2, respectively. With the preferred CSP, the enantioselectivity could be increased for a chiral probe (FMOC-Phe) and the mass transfer resistance (C-term) bisected compared to the corresponding CSP prepared from benchmark MPTMS-modified silica (2.54 vs 5.72 ms). It is demonstrated that the fine-tuning of the microstructure on the silica surface can have a significant influence on enantioselectivity and mass transfer kinetics of the resultant CSPs.

Abstract
Metabolomics strives to capture the entirety of the metabolites in a biological system by comprehensive analysis, often by liquid chromatography hyphenated to mass spectrometry. A particular challenge thereby is the differentiation of structural isomers. Common achiral targeted and untargeted assays do not distinguish between enantiomers. This may lead to information loss. An increasing number of publications demonstrate that the enantiomeric ratio of certain metabolites can be meaningful biomarkers of certain diseases emphasizing the importance of introducing enantioselective analytical procedures in metabolomics. In this work, the state-of-the-art in the field of LC-MS based metabolomics is summarized with focus on developments in the recent decade. Methodologies, tagging strategies, workflows and general concepts are outlined. Selected biological applications in which enantioselective metabolomics has documented its usefulness are briefly discussed. In general, targeted enantioselective metabolomics assays are often based on a direct approach using chiral stationary phases (CSP) with polysaccharide derivatives, macrocyclic antibiotics, chiral crown ethers, chiral ion exchangers, donor-acceptor phases as chiral selectors. Rarely, these targeted assays focus on more than 20 analytes and usually are restricted to a certain metabolite class. In a variety of cases, pre-column derivatization of metabolites has been performed, especially for amino acids, to improve separation and detection sensitivity. Triple quadrupole instruments are the detection methods of first choice in targeted assays. Here, issues like matrix effect, absence of blank matrix impair accuracy of results. In selected applications, multiple heart cutting 2D-LC (RP followed by chiral separation) has been pursued to overcome this problem and alleviate bias due to interferences. Non-targeted assays, on the other hand, are based on indirect approach involving tagging with a chiral derivatizing agent (CDA). Besides classical CDAs numerous innovative reagents and workflows have been proposed and are discussed. Thereby, a critical issue for the accuracy is often neglected, viz. the validation of the enantiomeric impurity in the CDA. The majority of applications focus on amino acids, hydroxy acids, oxidized fatty acids and oxylipins. Some potential clinical applications are highlighted.

Eight novel chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for HPLC were prepared by coating the QC on 3-aminopropyl silica gel, which were firstly used to separate 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenamine (THNA) racemates. Enantioseparation capability of the CSPs was evaluated and the influence factors including DS and Mw of QCs were explored respectively. The results demonstrated that the successful separation of THNA enantiomers was obtained by all the new CSPs of the chitin derivatives. Resolution (Rs) increased from 1.12 to 1.58 with the increase of DS of QC from 0.40 to 0.62, while the Rs decreased with the reduction of Mw of the products from 2.8 × 105 to 9.7 × 104. The maximum Rs is 2.29. A simple pathway for the fabrication of novel CSPs of cationic chitin derivatives is developed, which has potential application for the separation of THAN racemates.

Abstract
The separation of structural analogues in natural products has always been one of the challenges in separation science, where supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) with chiral stationary phases (CSPs) is an unconventional but potential solution. In this study, a preparative two-dimensional chiral SFC (2D cSFC) method that was established with two kinds of CSPs was applied in the isolation of the aliphatic acid derivatives in Piper kadsura (P. kadsura). The RPLC unseparated peaks of two samples A and B of P. kadsura were evenly scattered on the CSP-1 column while they clustered into two groups on the CSP-2 column by SFC. There was impressively complementary selectivity between CSP-1 and CSP-2, which were used for construction of 2D cSFC. The first dimension (1D) separation with CSP-1 fractionated the sample A into six parts by a heart-cutting method and the sample B into nine parts for a comprehensive 2D analysis; then 29 and 71 peaks were respectively found in these parts in the second dimension (2D) separation with CSP-2. Further through 2D preparative separation, 19 high purity components were obtained, and the chemical structures of two of them were confirmed, including a novel unsaturated aliphatic acid compound (8Z,10Z)-12-methoxyheptadeca-8,10-dienoic acid and a known octadecadienoic acid lactone Lactariolide. The 2D cSFC method presented the superiority of separating the achiral compounds of complex samples.

Abstract
As a welcomed porous material, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have many advantages and are widely used in various aspects. Particularly, COFs have aroused great attentions of scientists in chromatographic separation field due to their outstanding advantages, such as high stability, large specific surface area and multiple voids. However, endowing COFs with chirality to construct chiral stationary phase (CSP) function is still facing many challenges. Here, we firstly prepared a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and covalent organic framework functional silica CSP named as COF@CD@SiO2 by one-pot method to perform high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chiral separation. The morphology and structure of the synthesized stationary phase were investigated by a variety of characterization methods including Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption experiment, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental analysis (EA). The prepared stationary phase realized fast separation of six enantiomers in a short time. The separation mechanism was mainly ascribed to the inclusion complexation of β-cyclodextrin and the mutli-interaction sites from COFs material. In conclusion, the prepared chiral column can be used to achieve fast separation of enantiomers with good stability and reproducibility. These results can open new avenue for using chiral COFs in liquid chromatographic separation.

Abstract
A new chiral stationary phase (CSP) in which (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid was linked to a silica gel surface through a long alkyl chain and which did not contain additional aminoundecyl groups was prepared. Generally, when enantiomers containing a primary amine group are optically resolved using a crown-ether-type CSP, a higher resolution is achieved if the surface of the CSP does not contain any residual amine. In this study, the chiral separation factor and resolution factor of a CSP with a long alkyl chain such as the aminoundecyl group were unusually low in the absence of the residual aminoundecyl groups. In this study, a chiral column was prepared by introducing a chiral selector having a long alkyl chain on the surface of silica gel to separate enantiomers of α-amino acids. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the residual-amine-containing CSP, which was easier to synthesize, facilitated more effective enantiomeric separation than the CSP without residual amines.

Abstract
Lactide is a natural and renewable lactone cyclic ester-containing intrinsic chiral center, providing an affordable natural compound that is potential for the development of chiral polymers. In this work, we reported two novel chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on lactide derivatives, methylene lactide (MLA), for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). By using free radical polymerization, chemically bonded CSPs of poly(methylene lactide) (PMLA) and side-chain modified PMLA by aminolysis (N-PMLA) can be prepared. Also, poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) was prepared as a control. The chiral resolution performance of the chromatographic columns was examined in both reversed-phase and normal-phase modes. PMLA and N-PMLA CSPs exhibited fairly good chiral recognition ability, whereas the separation ability of PLLA is much weaker. This work provides a new platform for the development of high-performance CSPs from affordable natural products.

Abstract
In this study, cyclofructan (CF)-, cyclodextrin (CD)-, and polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were exploited in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the chiral separations of different clinically and pharmaceutically important compounds. In particular, R-naphthylethyl carbamate CF6 (RN-CF6), 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate CF7 (DMP-CF7), neutral beta cyclodextrin (β-CD), 3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate β-CD (DMP-β-CD), and cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (Cellulose-Tris DMP) columns were utilized under isocratic elution. The performance of these CSPs as chiral separation media was evaluated by use of nine analytes: acidic, basic, and amphiprotic. A possible correlation between the functional groups of these analytes and the chiral-recognition ability of each chiral column was also examined. The enantioseparations were optimized by varying different parameters, such as mobile phase additives, column temperature, and flow rate. Finally, a comparison was made between all CSPs, and it was expressed in terms of resolution (RS), efficiency (N), selectivity (α), retention factors (k1', k2') and analysis time (tR1, tR2). It was observed that RN-CF6 was the most suitable and efficient CSP for the chiral separation of various types of analytes, including acids, primary and tertiary amines, alcohols, and many neutral compounds. It was the only CSP that provided baseline enantioseparation of thyroxine (RS = 1.6) and cetirizine (RS = 2.0).

Abstract
Monolithic columns for analytical applications have attracted the researcher's attention. In this work, the laboratory-made organic-polymer monolithic column is modified with trypsin and further applied as a nanobiocatalyst microreactor and a stationary phase for separating chiral compounds by liquid chromatography. The monolith was synthesized by in-situ copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) or trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) as a crosslinking agent, with porogen of 1,4-butanediol/propanol/water (4:7:1 v/v) and AIBN as the radical polymerization initiator inside PEEK and silicosteel tubings (1.0 mm i.d × 100 mm) at 60 °C for 12 h. A total monomer ratio (%T) and crosslinking agent (%C) of 40:25 and 28:12 were applied to prepare poly-(GMA-co-EDMA) and poly-(GMA-co-TRIM), respectively. The produced monoliths were further modified by introducing trypsin (10 mg/L) through the ring-opening reaction of the epoxide group existing in the monolithic column. The trypsin-immobilized poly-(GMA-co-EDMA) monolithic column was applied as the nanobiocatalyst microreactor for online/flow-through and rapid digestion of β-casein sample into its peptide fragments. The trypsin-immobilized poly-(GMA-co-TRIM) column has potential application to be used as the HPLC stationary phase for the separation of R/S-citronellal enantiomers.

Abstract
The fascinating framework structures and unique properties of chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) make them promising candidates as novel separation medium for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, the irregular morphology, inhomogeneous particle size, and low density of conventional COF particles will lead to a low column efficiency, undesirable chromatographic peak shape, and high column backpressure of such COF-packed columns. In this work, a chiral COF CTpBD was synthesized by the Schiff base reaction between benzidine (BD) and chiral organic monomer CTp obtained through the reaction of 1,3,5-triformylphoroglucinol (Tp) and (+)-diacetyl-L-tartaric anhydride ((+)-Ac-L-Ta). The chiral COF CTpBD was immobilized on the surface of amino functionalized silica (SiO2-NH2) by an in situ growth approach to prepare the chiral COF core-shell microsphere composite CTpBD@SiO2, which was used as a novel chiral stationary phase (CSP) for HPLC enantioseparation. Various kinds of racemates were separated on the CTpBD@SiO2-packed column with a low column backpressure (8-11 bar). Some effects such as the analyte mass and column temperature on the HPLC enantioseparation have been studied in detail. The fabricated CTpBD@SiO2-packed column exhibited high column efficiency (e.g., 16,800 plates m-1 for atenolol), high enantioselectivity, and good reproducibility toward various racemates. The highest resolution value, retention factor, and separation factor reach to 2.11, 2.85, and 3.73, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of peak area, peak height, half-peak width, and retention time of atenolol were all below 3.0%.

Abstract
A novel HPLC-based method for direct separation of trioleoylglycerol (TOG), a major component in high-oleic oils, and its seven hydrolysis products (i.e., oleic acid, monooleoylglycerol (MOG) and dioleoylglycerol (DOG) isomers) was established using a chiral stationary phase column, Chiralpak IA. Within 20 min, all species including enantiomeric MOG (1-sn-MOG and 3-sn-MOG) and DOG (1,2-sn-DOG and 2,3-sn-DOG) were baseline-resolved with resolution factors over 1.5 between adjacent peaks. The established method was used for investigating the integral stereoselectivity, which is the selectivity concerning all hydrolysis steps, of lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL) with TOG as substrate. The time-course of DOGs and MOGs indicated that PFL had selectivity for TOG hydrolysis in the order of sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 position, while it preferred to hydrolyze 2,3-sn-DOG over 1,2-sn-DOG. Being rapid and accurate to evaluate integral stereoselectivity, this method could promote the development and application of lipases with target stereochemistry in the food industry.

Abstract
The present work systematically investigates a new strategy for the functionalization of silica gel using alkyl silatrane chemistry instead of alkylsilanes for synthesis of chromatographic stationary phases. In this work, silica was chemically modified for further functionalization by a thiol-ene click reaction. Thus, 3-mercaptopropylsilatrane (MPS) was used which is capable to form self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on top of silanol surfaces in a controlled manner as previously shown for silicon wafers. The utility of this chemistry for stationary phase synthesis in liquid chromatography was not evaluated yet. Hence, silica surface modifications using MPS were studied in comparison to established 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) chemistry. First, the employed elemental analysis method was validated and it showed excellent intra-day and inter-day precisions (typically less than 5% RSD). It could be shown that the reaction kinetics of MPS was roughly 35-times faster than with MPTMS. After 30 min reaction time with MPS, the thiol content reached 74% of the maximal coverage. Due to controlled chemistry with MPS, which does not lead to oligomeric siloxane network at the silica surface, the ligand coverage was lower. However, multiple silanization cycles with MPS led to a dense surface coverage (around 4 µmol m-2). 29Si cross polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) solid-state NMR revealed distinct T1/T2/T3 ratios for MPS and MPTMS materials with up to 80% T3 (indicative for trifunctional siloxane linkage) for MPS and around 20% T3 for MPTMS. This indicates a more homogeneous, thinner monolayer film of MPS on the silica surface, as compared to an irregular thick oligomeric siloxane network with MPTMS. Bonding of quinine carbamate as chiral selector afforded an efficient chiral stationary phase (CSP) for chromatographic enantiomer separation. Separation factors were comparable to MPTMS-bonded CSP, however, chromatographic efficiency was much better for the MPS-bonded CSP. H/u curves indicated a reduced mass transfer resistance by roughly factor 3 for MPS- compared to MPTMS-bonded CSP. This confirms better chromatographic performance of surfaces with homogeneous monolayer compared to network structures on the silica surface which suffer from poor stationary phase mass transfer.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to disclose the interactions between chitosan-type chiral selectors (CSs) and chiral analytes during enantioseparation. Hence, six chitosan 3,6-bis(phenylcarbamate)-2-(cyclohexylmethylurea)s were synthesized and characterized. These chitosan derivatives were employed as CSs with which the corresponding coated-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were prepared. According to the nature and position of the substituents on the phenyl group, the CSs and CSPs were divided into three sets. The counterparts of the three sets were 3,5-diMe versus 3,5-diCl, 4-Me versus 4-Cl and 3-Me versus 3-Cl. The enantioseparation capability of the CSPs was evaluated with high-performance liquid chromatography. The CSPs demonstrated a good enantioseparation capability to the tested chiral analytes. In enantioselectivity, the CSs with 3,5-diCl and with 4-Me roughly were better than the counterparts with 3,5-diMe and with 4-Cl respectively. The CS with 3-Me enantiomerically recognized more analytes than the one with 3-Cl, but showed lower separation factors in more enantioseparations. The acidity of the amide hydrogen in the phenylcarbamates was investigated with density functional theory calculations and 1H NMR measurements. The trend of the acidity variation with different substituents on the phenyl group was confirmed by the retention factors of acetone on the CSPs. Compared the retention factors of analytes on every set of the counterparts, the formation of hydrogen bond (HB) in enantioseparation could be outlined as follows: when the CSs interacted with chiral analytes without reactive hydrogen but with lone paired electrons, the carbamate N‒Hs in the CSs were HB donors and the analytes were HB acceptors; if the CSs interacted with analytes with a reactive hydrogen, the role of the CSs in HB formation was related to the acidity of the reactive hydrogen; the patterns of HB formation between the CSs and analytes were also impacted by compositions of mobile phases, in addition to the nature, number and position of substituents on the phenyl group. Based on the discussion, chiral recognition mechanism could be understood in more detail. Besides, the strategy to improve enantioseparation capability of a CSP by introducing a substituent onto phenyl group was clarified and further comprehended.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2)-incorporated organic polymer monolith was prepared by thermal polymerization. By virtue of the superior physical and chemical properties, the UiO-66-NH2-modified organic monolith was then functionalized by chiral selector cellulase via the condensation reaction between the primary amino groups and aldehyde groups. The synthesized materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, and nitrogen sorption isotherm. The cellulase@poly(glycidyl methacrylate-UiO-66-NH2-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (cellulase@poly(GMA-UiO-66-NH2-EDMA)) monolith was applied to enantiomerically separate the basic racemic forms of metoprolol, atenolol, esmolol, bisoprolol, and propranolol. In contrast to the cellulase@poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith without UiO-66-NH2, the cellulase@poly(GMA-UiO-66-NH2-EDMA) monolith reveals significantly improved enantiodiscrimination performance for metoprolol (Rs: 0 → 1.67), atenolol (Rs: 0 → 1.50), esmolol (Rs: 0 → 1.52), bisoprolol (Rs: 0 → 0.36), and propranolol (Rs: 0 → 0.44). The immobilization pH of cellulase, buffer pH, UiO-66-NH2 concentration, and the proportion of organic modifier were evaluated in detail with enantiomerically separating chiral molecules. The intra-day, inter-day, column-to-column, and inter-batch precision have been discussed, the result was preferable, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of separation parameters was <4.3%. Schematic representation of the preparation of a UiO-66-NH2-modified organic polymer monolith for enantioseparating five racemic β-blockers. UiO-66-NH2 was synthesized and converted into a monolith as the stationary phase. Then, the modified monolith containing cellulase as the chiral selector was applied in a capillary electrochromatography system for enantioseparating chiral drugs.

Abstract
Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) is a natural biocatalyst with an intrinsically strong chiral environment and a high degree of enantio-selectivity, which is widely used in the separation of racemates. Here, a facile and efficient covalent immobilization approach was utilized to immobilize CALB onto the capillary inner wall as a novel chiral stationary phase to explore and broaden its application in the direct chiral separation by electrochromatography. The obtained CALB immobilized capillary column was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence imaging and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The enantioseparation property of the CALB immobilized capillary column was confirmed by direct chiral separation of several pairs of monoamine neurotransmitter enantiomers in OT-CEC mode. Outstanding enantioseparation performance for three types of monoamine neurotransmitter enantiomers including epinephrine, norepinephrine and phenylephrine was obtained by the CALB immobilized column. Thanks to the effectiveness of covalent bonding method and the intrinsic stability of CALB, the prepared CALB immobilized capillary columns were quite steady and reproducible. The relative standard deviations for retention times of the enantiomers were as follows: for intra-day (n = 5) runs (≤0.25%), inter-day (n = 3) runs (≤0.72%) and between-columns (n = 3) (≤2.42%). After 90 consecutive runs in CEC mode, the CALB immobilized column still exhibited desirable enantionseparation performance.

Abstract
A novel β-cyclodextrin derivative chemically bonded chiral stationary phase (EDACD) was synthesized by the reaction of mono-6-ethylenediamine-β-cyclodextrin with the active alkyl isocyanate, anchoring to silica gel. After the successful analysis and characterization using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis techniques, the enantioselective performance of the as-prepared EDACD column was evaluated by non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and flavonoids under the reversed-phase HPLC condition. The factors that affected enantioseparation including mobile phase compositions and buffers were investigated in more detail. As a result, EDACD showed a satisfactory enantioselectivity for the tested drugs. With the mobile phase of acetonitrile and 20-mM ammonium formate adjusted to pH 4.0 using formic acid (85:15, v/v) at the flow rate of 0.6 mL min-1, the enantiomers of ibuprofen, carprofen, naproxen, indoprofen, ketoprofen, eriocitrin, naringin, and narirutin were separated with the best resolutions of 1.53, 1.64, 3.72, 2.40, 0.50, 0.61, 0.58, and 0.52. To adjust the proportion of acetonitrile to 80% (by volume), the enantiomers of pranoprofen and flurbiprofen were completely resolved with the best resolutions of 1.60 and 1.59. Additionally, by the study of the molecular docking, hydrogen bonding and inclusion complexation were believed to play an important role in chiral recognition. As a new material, EDACD will have a wider application in the analysis of chiral compounds.

Abstract
Herein, the fabrication of a fascinating multifunctional cyclodextrin (CD) chiral stationary phase and its chiral separation performance in capillary electrochromatography are proposed. A facile interfacial polymerization was used to anchor ethanediamine-β-cyclodextrin (EDA-β-CD) polymerized with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) and to form the chiral stationary phase (CSP) composite onto the surface wall of the capillary. The characters of prepared columns were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). This novel CSP offers multi-typical interactions including hydrogen bonding, π-interaction, hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction as well as steric effects which contribute to prominent chiral recognition for Dansyl-DL-amino acids in CEC modes. The EDA-β-CD modified column showed eminent enantioseparation performance towards five Dansyl-DL-amino acids (the DL-forms of valine, threonine, leucine, phenylalanine, serine). Besides, the prepared columns were perfectly reproducible and stable. The relative standard deviations of the enantiomer retention times for intra-day (n = 5), inter-day (n = 3) runs and column-to-columns (n = 3) are below 0.54%, 1.35% and 4.89%, individually. This innovative chiral stationary phase shows a broader application view and scope in chiral recognition domain.

Abstract
An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of chiral thyroxine and the related iodinated chiral compounds using LC-MS/MS is introduced in this study. D-Thyroid hormones (THs), which are not commercially available, were produced through the racemization reaction of the L-THs in acetic acid solution containing salicylaldehyde. The solution containing D- and L-THs after the reaction was used for optimizing the chiral separation. The D- and L-THs were well separated enantiomerically under isocratic conditions in 70 % acetonitrile containing 0.1 % formic acid on a CROWNPAK® CR-I (+) column, but some peaks, such as those of diiodo-D-tyrosine (D-DIT)/monoiodo-L-tyrosine, diiodo-D-thyronine/diiodo-L-tyrosine and D-thyroxine/triiodo-L-thyronine, overlapped chromatographically, causing misinterpretation in impurity analysis. This was overcome by using the gradient condition providing the best chiral selectivity (α) and resolution (Rs) ranging from 1.14 to 1.37 and from 2.39 to 4.52, respectively. The linearity was above 0.999 and the detection limits ranged from 8.2 to 57.7 ng/mL by the separation method. This method was applied to identify and quantify chiral impurities in authentic standards and pharmaceuticals. As a result, D-enantiomers corresponding to the L-THs standards as well as L-DIT were commonly observed as impurities. In the stability test of DL-thyroxine under acidic conditions for identifying the distribution of chiral products, it was observed that the formation of DIT by hydrolysis increased over time. Additional products formed through esterification, including thyroxine methyl ester and diiodo-tyrosine methyl ester, were newly separated and identified using a C18 column.

Abstract
This review provides a brief survey of chiral separation of pharmaceutically active substances published over the last 3 years (2018-2020). Chiral separation of drugs is an important area of research. The control of enantiomeric purity and determination of individual enantiomeric drug molecules is a necessity especially for clinical, analytical, and regulatory purposes. Among chromatographic resolution methods, high-performance liquid chromatography based on chiral stationary phases remains the most popular and effective method used for chiral separation of various drugs. In this review, attention is paid to several classes of chiral stationary phases that have been the most frequently used for drug enantioseparation during this period. GRAPHIC ABSTRACT

Abstract
Chiral metal-organic cages (MOCs) are a new type of porous materials with unique molecular recognition ability, which have received research attention as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for gas chromatography (GC). Herein, we report the detailed investigation of a chiral MOC ([Cu12(LPA)12(H2O)12], PA = L-phenylalanine, MOC-PA) as a novel stationary phase for GC separations. The MOC-PA capillary column exhibited a high-resolution performance for a wide range of analytes, including n-alkanes, n-alcohols, esters, aromatic compounds and the Grob mixture, positional isomers and racemates. In particular, MOC-PA coated column displayed good resolution and performance for amino acid derivatives. Moreover, the MOC-PA column showed excellent separation repeatability and reproducibility. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values for the retention times were in the range of 0.16-0.30% for run to run (n = 3), 0.31-0.77% for day-to-day (n = 3), and 3.6-4.7% for column-to-column (n = 3), respectively. The experimental results showed that MOC-PA had great potential as a GC stationary phase.

Abstract
Poly(diphenylacetylene) having optically active anilide pendants (poly-1) were synthesized by the condensation reaction of an optically active carboxylic acid with a key precursor polymer containing amino (-NH2) groups, which was prepared by the polymerization of a phthalimide-protected diphenylacetylene monomer using WCl6-Ph4Sn as a catalyst, followed by phthalimide deprotection in the resulting polymer using hydrazine monohydrate. Poly-1 formed a preferred-handed helical conformation (h-poly-1) upon thermal annealing in DMF because of chirality of the pendant group. Poly-1 and h-poly-1 showed different chiral recognition abilities from the analogous poly(diphenylacetylene)s, having the corresponding optically active amide pendants, as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography. The resolution results with the h-poly-1-based CSP were much better than those with the poly-1-based CSP owing to the preferred-handed macromolecular helicity. Among the tested racemates, the h-poly-1-based CSP exhibited superior chiral recognition ability, especially toward binaphthyl compounds and chiral metal complexes.

Abstract
A hydroxyl-functionalized homochiral porous organic cage (POC) was synthesized and characterized by FTIR, NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), MALDI-TOF-MS, and elemental analysis. The synthesized homochiral POC was used as stationary phase to prepare a capillary gas chromatography (GC) column by a static coating method. The fabricated column shows excellent selectivity not only for the separation of positional isomers but also for the resolution of various racemates. Thirty-nine racemates have been resolved on the column, including alcohols, diols, halohydrocarbons, epoxides, esters, lactones, ketones, ethers, and organic acids. Compared to the commercial β-DEX 120 column and previously reported chiral POCs (CC3-R, CC9, and CC10)-coated columns, there are 11, 10, 24, and 15 tested racemates that cannot be resolved on β-DEX 120 column, CC3-R column, CC9 column, and CC10 column, respectively. This reveals that the fabricated column has prominent complementarity or superior separation performance to these columns in enantioseparation. Besides, the fabricated column can achieve some enantioseparations which are not possible using all previously reported chiral POC-based columns. Some positional isomers (xylenes, dichlorobenzenes, dibromobenzenes, nitrochlorobenzenes, and nitrobromobenzenes) were also separated with high-resolution values. The column exhibits good repeatability, reproducibility, and stability. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values of retention times were 0.03-0.18%, 0.11-0.92%, and 2.1-6.6% for run-to-run (n = 5), day-to-day (n = 5), and column-to-column (n = 3), respectively. The experimental results demonstrate the great potential of POCs for practical application in GC. Graphical Abstract A hydroxyl-functionalized homochiral porous organic cage was used as stationary phase for gas chromatography separation of racemates and positional isomers. The resolution of racemates mainly depended on hydrogen bonding, π-interaction, host-guest inclusion, steric fit, etc., while separation of positional isomers by shape-selective guest binding.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the enantioseparation performance of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) which were derived from chitosans of different sources and molecular weights. Therefore, chitosans of shrimp and crab shells were prepared. The viscosity-average molecular weights of the chitosans both prepared from shrimp and crab shells were 2.8 × 105 and 1.4 × 105. The chitosans were isobutyrylated yielding isopropylcarbonyl chitosans which were then derivatized with 4-methylphenyl isocyanate to provide chitosan 3,6-bis(4-methylphenylcarbamate)-2-(isobutyrylamide)s. The chitosan 3,6-bis(4-methylphenylcarbamate)-2-(isobutyrylamide)s were used as chiral selectors (CSs) with which the corresponding CSPs were prepared. With the same chiral analytes and under the same mobile phase conditions, the enantioseparation capability of the CSPs was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography. In two CSs prepared from the same source, the one with higher molecular weight showed better enantioseparation capability; in two CSs prepared with the chitosans of the same molecular weight, the one derived from shrimp shell exhibited better performance. With regard to the two shrimp chitosan CSs, most of chiral analytes interacted more strongly with the one with lower molecular weight, and an opposite trend was found for the two crab chitosan CSs. Based on the results observed in the present study and in previous work, we believe that the influence of molecular weight on CSP enantioseparation performance is related to the substituent introduced in the CS molecule.

Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-co-(ethylene dimethacrylate) [poly(GMA-co-EDMA)] monoliths were prepared, and used as a support to attach gold nanoparticles (AuNP) via Au-S bond. Pepsin, acting as a chiral selector, was linked to the surface of the carboxyl-modified AuNP through a hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling reaction. The material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm. The pepsin@AuNP@poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith showed preferable enantioselectivity for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), chloroquine (CHQ), hydroxyzine (HXY), labetalol (LAB), nefopam (NEF), clenbuterol (CLE), amlodipine (AML) and chlorpheniramine (CHL) in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). These racemic drugs were monitored at the maximum absorption wavelength (220 nm for HXQ, CHQ, HXY, LAB, NEF; 240 nm for AML; 215 nm for CLE, CHL). In comparison with the pepsin@poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith loaded with 5 nm AuNP, the pepsin@poly(GMA-co-EDMA) monolith loaded with 13 nm AuNP shows significantly enhanced enantiomeric resolution (HCQ: 0.62 → 3.45; CHQ: 0.60 → 2.11; HXY: 0.49 → 2.30; LAB: 1.03 → 2.45, 1.45 → 3.46, 0 → 0.67; NEF: 0.53 → 1.29; CLE: 0.42 → 0.56; AML: 0 → 0.83; CHL: 0.24 → 0.55). Pepsin concentration, buffer pH value, buffer concentration and applied voltage were investigated in detail with (±) HCQ and (±) HXY as model analytes. The reproducibility of intra-day, inter-day and column-to-column were explored, and found to be satisfactory.

Abstract
A novel chiral stationary phase (CSP) was prepared through the reaction of surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) by the copolymerization of thermoresponsive N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on the silica beads for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analysis (EA), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to characterize the surface property of modified silica. Thermoresponsive modulation for the effect on enantioselectivity were investigated with chiral reagents including 1-phenyl-1-propanol, styrene oxide, 2-phenylpropionic acid and commercial chiral drugs comprising ibuprofen and labetalol hydrochloride. The column efficiency was evaluated by chromatographic parameters including retention factor (k), selective factor (α), resolution (Rs), plate number (N) and peak tailing factor (Tf). The results showed that five chiral solutes could be separated on the prepared smart column. And the selectivity of these compounds could be modulated by regulating the column temperature. It was contributed to the thermoresponsive NIPAM assisting β-CD to separate these chiral compounds. These results indicated that the thermoresponsive CSP would be a potential tool for separation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic chiral drugs and this paper provided a novel method for chiral separation in the future.

Abstract
Since some metal-organic cages (MOCs) have been synthesized in past several years, the applications of MOCs such as drug delivery, molecular recognition, separation, catalysis, and gas storage, etc. have been witnessed with a significant increase. However, to the best of our knowledge, so far no one has used MOCs as chiral stationary phase to separate chiral compounds in CEC. In this study, three MOCs were developed as the stationary phase for CEC separation of enantiomers. The MOCs coated capillary column showed good chiral recognition ability for some chiral compounds, including amine, alcohols, ketone, etc. The influence of buffer concentration, applied voltage, pH of buffer solution on the chiral separations was also investigated. The RSDs of run-to-run, day-to-day, and column-to-column for retention time were 2.1-4.67%, 1.2-4.36%, and 3.62-6.43%, respectively. This work reveals that the chiral MOCs material is feasible for the enantioseparation in CEC.

Abstract
Application of the superficially porous particles (SPPs) grafted with chiral selectors can substantially improve resolution in chromatographic techniques. In this work, we carried out a deeper study on supercritical fluid chromatography systems with 2.7 µm SPPs bonded with teicoplanin and vancomycin. Fast separations of the majority of enantiomers of phytoalexins, substituted tryptophans, and ketamine derivatives, as representatives of important biologically active and structurally diverse chiral compounds have been achieved. The chromatographic behavior of the structurally different analytes served to characterize these separation systems. The influence of separation conditions, namely mobile phase composition, i.e. type of co-solvent and additive on retention, enantioselective resolution and enantioselectivity was examined. The success rate of baseline and partial separations in individual groups of compounds differed with the chiral stationary phase and also with mobile phase composition. The best, baseline separations for the phytoalexins were achieved on the TeicoShell column using methanol as a co-solvent and trifluoroacetic acid as an additive if used. Mostly partial separations were achieved on the vancomycin-based column for all groups of analytes. Complementary separation behavior of these CSPs was confirmed for the majority of the chiral compounds examined in this work.

Abstract
The successful fabrication of monolithic capillary columns for enantiomer separations was achieved within vinylized fused silica capillaries via fast "one-pot" photo-initiated free radical polymerization reaction. A mixture consisting of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, O-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethylcarbamoyl]-10,11-dihydroquinidine was copolymerized in the presence of n-butanol, ethylene glycol and photo-initiator 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone. The morphology of the resultant polymeric hybrid inorganic-organic material and its permeability as well as porosity can be controlled by adjusting the composition of the monomers and binary porogenic solvent. The chromatographic characteristics of the columns have been investigated. Separation factors of N-acetyl-phenylalanine (Ac-Phe) and dichlorprop dropped with decrease of chiral functional monomer. Permeability was better when the macroporogen ethyleneglycol was present at higher concentrations during the polymerization. In general, the chiral compounds were well separated (dichlorprop: α = 1.53, Rs up to 4.14; Ac-Phe: α = 1.36, Rs up to 2.69) by nano-HPLC with an optimized enantioselective monolithic capillary column which can be prepared within a few minutes.

Abstract
Seven amylose derivatives bearing two regioselective carbamate pendants at 2,3- and 6-positions of a glucose unit were synthesized through protection and deprotection at the 6-position. The chiral recognition abilities of the obtained derivatives were evaluated as the chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Each derivative had its own characteristic recognition ability depending on the arrangement of carbamate pendants at the three positions. The nature, position and number of the substituents on the aromatic moieties of pendants play a significant role on the chiral recognition ability of these derivatives. Most amylose derivatives exhibit good enantioselectivity for the racemates in this study, and those bearing electron-withdrawing para-chlorophenylcarbamates at 2- and 3-positions possessed relatively better chiral recognition than others. Some racemates could be better resolved on the amylose derivatives with different pendants than on Chiralpak AD, one of the most powerful commercially available chiral columns derived from amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate).

Abstract
Coated-type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were prepared from three cyclic amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (cADMPC) samples, of which weight-average molar mass (Mw) ranges from 19 to 91 kg mol-1, and from three linear ADMPC samples ranging in Mw from 25 to 90 kg mol-1. CSPs made of cADMPC showed appreciably different chiral separation ability comparing with those for ADMPC with a mixed eluent of n-hexane and 2-propanol. Local conformation plays an important role for the chiral separation taking into account that the local helical structure of cADMPC in dilute solution is extended comparing with ADMPC. Immobilized-type CSPs were also prepared from enzymatically synthesized linear and cyclic amylose samples with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylcarbamate linkers (ADMPCi and cADMPCi) of which Mw's are in the range from 18 to 130 kg mol-1. When we choose quite high linker contents, CSPs of cADMPCi were fairly close to those of ADMPCi. This suggests that local conformations of ADMPCi and cADMPCi are similar in the stationary phase since they are crosslinked to the other polymer chains with multiple points on the polymer chain.

Abstract
A series of chiral indole phytoalexins with potential anticancer and antimicrobial activity were enantioseparated in supercritical fluid chromatography. Two polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases composed of tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) derivatives of amylose or cellulose coated on 2.5 μm silica particles were successfully used. The influences of the polysaccharide backbone, co-solvent type and co-solvent content in the mobile phase on retention, enantioselectivity and enantioresolution of indole phytoalexins were investigated. Fast baseline separations were achieved for 26 from 27 tested compounds. Amylose-based chiral stationary phase provided higher number of baseline resolutions of the indole phytoalexins than the cellulose-based one. However, certain complementary enantioresolution results towards the studied compounds were observed between the investigated columns. The relationship between structure of the indole phytoalexins and their chromatographic behavior in supercritical fluid chromatography was discussed.

Abstract
Liquid-phase enantioseparations have been fruitfully applied in several fields of science. Various applications along with technical and theoretical advancements contributed to increase significantly the knowledge in this area. Nowadays, chromatographic techniques, in particular HPLC on chiral stationary phase, are considered as mature technologies. In the last thirty years, CE has been also recognized as one of the most versatile technique for analytical scale separation of enantiomers. Despite the huge number of papers published in these fields, understanding mechanistic details of the stereoselective interaction between selector and selectand is still an open issue, in particular for high-molecular weight chiral selectors like polysaccharide derivatives. With the ever growing improvement of computer facilities, hardware and software, computational techniques have become a basic tool in enantioseparation science. In this field, molecular docking and dynamics simulations proved to be extremely adaptable to model and visualize at molecular level the spatial proximity of interacting molecules in order to predict retention, selectivity, enantiomer elution order, and profile noncovalent interaction patterns underlying the recognition process. On this basis, topics and trends in using docking and molecular dynamics as theoretical complement of experimental LC and CE chiral separations are described herein. The basic concepts of these computational strategies and seminal studies performed over time are presented, with a specific focus on literature published between 2015 and November 2018. A systematic compilation of all published literature has not been attempted.

Abstract
Although various click polymerization reactions (thiol-ene, thiol-yne, thiol-Michael, thiol-epoxy and amine-epoxy) have been utilized to prepare either hybrid or organic monolithic columns with homogeneous network structures, there were few reports on fabrication of monolithic CSPs via click polymerization. Herein, a fast and robust approach was explored to fabricate cinchona-based monolithic hybrid CSPs via photo-initiated thiol-ene polymerization within 10 min in one step. A self-synthesized octakis(3-mercaptopropyl) octasilsesquioxane (POSS-SH) was polymerized with phenylisocyanate cinchonidine (PCD) and (+)-N,N'-diallyl-L-tartardiamide (DATDA) or 1,2,4-trivinylcyclohexane (TVCH). The resulting two kinds of as-synthesized monolithic CSPs, poly(POSS-co-DATDA-co-PCD) and poly(POSS-co-TVCH-co-PCD), were evaluated for cLC enantioseparation of acidic racemates. It was found that they exhibited different enantioseparation ability due to using different multivinyl crosslinkers. The influence of ACN content in mobile phase on the enantioseparation of acidic racemates was investigated. The separation mechanism was also discussed on the basis of a comparison of enantioseparation on two kinds of hybrid monolithic CSPs.

Abstract
Nowadays polysaccharide chiral stationary phases are very popular and this originates for many reasons: (1) their wide applications window, (2) numerous different chemistry availability either in coated or in immobilized versions, and (3) large loading capability useful for preparative scale. Indeed chiral separations remain a hot topic (particularly in the pharmaceutical market) and in this field supercritical fluid chromatography is emerging rapidly. However, its use is more complex than high-performance liquid chromatography. The presented example illustrates analytical scale chiral separation method development and the effect of each operating parameter, i.e., flow rate, outlet pressure, and temperature variations on a chiral separation.

Abstract
The resolution of chiral compounds into optically pure enantiomers is very important in various fields, such as pharmaceutical, chemical, agricultural, and food industries. Chiral gas chromatography (GC) is one of the efficient methods for enantioseparations of volatile compounds. In recent years, porous materials as stationary phases for chromatographic separations have achieved increasing attention. Porous organic cages (POCs) represent an emerging class of porous materials, which are assembled by discrete organic molecules with shape-persistent and permanent cavities through weak intermolecular forces. This chapter describes several chiral POCs as chiral stationary phases for GC enantioseparations of racemic compounds.

Abstract
As one of the commonly used chiral separation materials, cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phases (CD-CSP) have been developed rapidly in the past 30 years. A large number of CD-CSPs have been designed and applied for enantioseparation in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The development of novel CD-CSPs focuses on two aspects: the immobilization chemistry and the functionalization of the CD skeleton. Although such studies are not regarded as the prime research topic in analytical chemistry, there are still many recent works pushing this research forward tardily. In this chapter, the fabrication procedure of a triazole-bridged duplex CD-CSP and its application to HPLC enantioseparations is described.

Abstract
This chapter summarizes the application of polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for separation of enantiomers in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Since this book contains dedicated chapters on enantioseparations using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), or capillary electrochromatography (CEC), the application of polysaccharide-based materials in these modes of liquid-phase separation techniques is touched just superficially. Special emphasis is directed toward a discussion of the optimization of polysaccharide-based chiral selectors, their attachment onto the carrier, and the optimization of the support. The optimization of the separation of enantiomers based on various parameters such as mobile phase composition and temperature is discussed.

Abstract
A multiple heartcut (MHC) 2D-UHPLC method with UV detection has been developed for the enantioselective analysis of complex amino acid mixtures in a single run. The MHC method is based on an achiral gradient RPLC separation with 1.8 μm C18 phase (100 × 2.1 mm ID column) in the first dimension (1D) and enantioselective isocratic separation on a tert-butylcarbamoylquinine-based 2.7 μm Coreshell particle column (50 × 3 mm ID) in the second dimension (2D). Pre-column derivatization has been performed with Sanger's reagent (2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene) yielding chromogenic 2,4-dinitrophenylated amino acids (DNP-AAs). Heartcuts of 40 μL fractions of the 1D peaks were sampled into the 2D system via a two-position four-port dual valve connected to two loop decks each equipped with six 40 μL parking loops. Using this setup, 25 amino acids (20 proteinogenic plus allo-Thr, allo-Ile, homoserine (Hse), Orn, β-Ala) have been analyzed enantioselectively in a fully automated manner with a single chiral column within 130 min total run time (1D and 2D). All 2D separations together took 101.5 min (29 cuts with 3.5 min run time each) and thus the total analysis time was quite efficiently utilized. Faster separations were restricted by some software constraints which did not allow to adjust run times in 2D individually. The practical utility of this enantioselective MHC method is documented by application for the absolute configuration determination of the amino acids in gramicidin and bacitracin. Further optimizations should lead to a generic enantioselective amino acid analyzer for the quality control of synthetic peptides and the structural characterization of non-ribosomal peptides.

Abstract
N-Methoxycarbonyl chitosan was prepared by selectively modifying the amino group at the 2-position of chitosan with methyl chloroformate, which was further functionalized with p-methylbenzylamine to produce chitosan (p-methylbenzylurea). Then, the hydroxyl groups at the 3- and 6-positions of the glucose skeleton were modified with various phenyl isocyanates, affording a series of chitosan 3,6-bis(arylcarbamate)-2-(p-methylbenzylurea)s, which were characterized and proposed as chiral selectors for enantiomer separation. Nineteen racemates, most of which are drugs or intermediates for drugs, were selected as the model analytes to evaluate the enantioseparation performance. The structure-performance relationship of the chiral selectors was investigated in detail. It was found that the methyl-substituted chiral selectors possessed more preferable enantioseparation performance compared with the chloro-substituted ones, and the chiral selectors containing a methyl substituent at the 4-position of the benzene ring showed the best chiral recognition and separation ability with 17 racemates being recognized and 13 racemates being baseline separated. The prepared chiral separation materials derived from these chiral selectors exhibited favorable solvent tolerance towards ethyl acetate, acetone, chloroform and a low proportion of tetrahydrofuran in normal phase. To sum up, this work provided a useful reference for the design and preparation of high-performance chiral separation materials for efficient enantiomer separation.

Abstract
Chitosan bis(phenylcarbamate)-(N-cyclohexylformamide)s and chitosan bis(phenylcarbamate)-(N-hexanamide)s were synthesized as chiral selectors for enantiomeric separation. Since two types of substituents with different structures were, respectively, introduced onto the 2-position and the 3-/6-positions of the glucose skeleton in the chitosans through a "heterogeneous" modification pathway, the enantioseparation performances of the chiral selectors could be improved. Influence of the type and position of the substituents on chiral recognition and enantioseparation abilities was studied in detail, and the structural dependence on enantioseparation performance was particularly demonstrated. It was found that methyl- and chloro-substituted chitosan bis(phenylcarbamate)-(N-hexanamide)s possessed comparable enantioseparation performances, whereas chloro-substituted chitosan bis(phenylcarbamate)-(N-cyclohexylformamide)s exhibited much more powerful chiral recognition and enantioseparation abilities than the methyl-substituted ones. Among all the prepared chiral selectors, those with the combination of the cyclohexyl group at the 2-position of the glucose skeleton in the chitosan derivatives and the chlorophenyl group at the 3-/6-positions seemed to be more preferable for enantiomeric separation. As a result, the chitosan bis(3,4-dichlorophenylcarbamate)-(N-cyclohexylformamide) possessed the best enantioseparation performance. The solvent tolerability of the prepared chiral selectors was also investigated in the present study. Compared with the classical coated-type chiral separation materials derived from cellulose/amylose derivatives, the N-cyclohexylcarbonyl and N-hexanoyl chitosans based chiral stationary phases were observed to possess more favorable solvent tolerability, thus possibly widening their applications for various practical enantioseparations.

Abstract
The chiral lactone 5-butyl-4-methyloxolan-2-one or 5-butyl-4-methyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone, often named whisky lactone, is found in oak wood, then contributing to the appreciated flavor of beverages stored in such wooden barrels. Its next higher homologue is named cognac lactone (5-pentyl-4-methyloxolan-2-one or 5-pentyl-4-methyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone), however is much less known, probably due to its minor concentration level. In order to study the direct enantioseparation of both lactones by gas chromatography on chiral stationary phases, individual enantiomers, particularly for cognac lactone were made available. This was achieved by baker's yeast reduction of synthesized ethyl 3-methyl-4-oxononanoate or, after hydrolysis, of the corresponding 4-ketoacid, that gave access to individual enantiomers of cognac lactone. Good enantioseparation was achieved for both whisky and cognac lactone with high values for the chiral resolution with 6-O-tert. butyl dimethylsilyl-2,3-dialkylated or 6-O-tert. butyl dimethylsilyl-2,3-diacylated cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral selectors. The influence of the nature and position of derivatization of the cyclodextrin moiety revealed a strong impact on the chiral recognition mechanism, as the investigated alkylated derivatives heptakis-(2,6-di-O-iso-pentyl-3-O-allyl)-β-cyclodextrin and octakis-(2,3-di-O-pentyl-6-O-methyl)-γ-cyclodextrin did not provide any or only minor chiral selectivity for the two lactones.
