Two-dimensional chiral metal-organic framework nanosheets L-hyp-Ni/Fe@SiO composite for HPLC separation.

In this study, we have synthesised a chiral l-hyp-Ni/Fe@SiO composite as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the first time. This was achieved by coating two-dimensional (2D) chiral metal-organic framework nanosheets (MONs) l-hyp-Ni/Fe onto the surface of activated SiO microspheres using the "wrapped in net" method. The separation efficiency of the l-hyp-Ni/Fe chromatographic column was systematically evaluated in normal-phase HPLC (NP-HPLC) and reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) configurations, employing various racemates as analytes.

Cyclodextrin Incorporation into Covalent Organic Frameworks Enables Extensive Liquid and Gas Chromatographic Enantioseparations.

The separation of enantiomers using high-performance chromatography technologies represents great importance and interest. In this aspect, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and its derivatives have been extensively studied as chiral stationary phases (CSPs). Nevertheless, β-CD that was immobilized on a traditional matrix often exhibited low stabilities and limited operating ranges.
