| Chirality plays an intriguing role in organic and polymeric materials, offering the possibility of novel structures, properties improvements and new application areas. A new biopolymeric material has been developed for chiral chromatographic separations, having selectivity for small chiral molecules commonly used as monomers, and materials precursors. There have been a number of recent advances in chiral synthesis and resolution, some of which have been adopted for chiral materials and polymer synthesis. Chromatographic resolution of chiral monomers and building blocks provides a key complementary approach, because of the broad applicability of chromatography to a wide variety of molecular chemistries. A description of key features of the material and example small molecule and monomer separations will be presented. |
