High-performance liquid chromatography-based enantioseparation of newly prepared azole analogs of monoterpene lactones and amides was studied. Effects of additives and mobile phase composition were evaluated both in normal and polar organic modes. Applying amylose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) selector in normal and polar organic modes acid and base additives were found to affect the peak profiles, without significantly influencing the enantiorecognition ability of the studied selector.

The effects of basic additives, different short-chain alcohols, and the influence of the temperature on the chromatographic behavior were studied. In addition, relationships between the structure of selector and selectand and the chromatographic parameters were explored to reveal mechanistic details of chiral recognition.

Experiments were designed to study the effect of eluent composition, counterion content, and temperature on the chromatographic properties in a systematic manner. Mobile phase systems containing methanol or mixtures of methanol and acetonitrile together with acid and base additives ensured highly efficient enantioseparations.

Currently, one of the most important tasks of modern analytical chemistry is the enantioseparation of chiral compounds, in particular, the enantiomers of compounds having biological and/or pharmaceutical activity. Whether the task is to analyze environmental or food samples or to develop an assay for drug control, well-reproducible, highly sensitive, stereoselective, and robust methods are required.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA series of half-sandwich polypyridyl complexes was synthesized and compared focusing on structural, cytotoxic and aqueous solution behaviour. The formula of the synthesized complexes is [M(arene)(N,N)Cl]Cl, where M: Ru or Rh, arene: p-cymene, toluene or C5Me5-, (N,N): 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmb), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (neo). The structures of five half-sandwich complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography.

Separation of the stereoisomers was optimized in both subcritical fluid chromatography and normal phase liquid chromatographic modes by investigating the effects of the composition of the bulk solvent, temperature, and the structures of the analytes and selectors. Both normal phase liquid chromatography and subcritical fluid chromatography exhibited satisfactory performance, albeit with somewhat different effectiveness in the separation of the stereoisomers studied.
