3-(4-Methylbenzylidene)-camphor (MBC) is a chiral sunscreen agent used in cosmetic products. In this work, the enantioseparation of MBC has been performed by EKC and applied to the analysis of the MBC enantiomers in cosmetic creams. Different experimental conditions (type and concentration of the chiral selector, temperature, and sample solvent) have been optimized. Due to the neutral nature of...

Enantiomers are chiral objects which di er by their orientation and are thus referred to as lefthanded and right-handed enantiomers. In applications they mostly occur as so-called racemic compounds consisting of approximately the same amount of leftand right-handed species which may have completely di erent properties. Hence, the separation of leftfrom right-handed enantiomers is an important i...

Porous zirconia particles are very robust material and have received considerable attention as a stationary phase support for HPLC. We prepared cellulose dimethylphenylcarbamate-bonded carbon-clad zirconia (CDMPCCZ) as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for separation of enantiomers of a set of 14 racemic compounds in normal phase (NP) and reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography. Retention and e...

The interplay between chiral motion and dipolar interactions leads to intriguing collective behavior, including percolation, phase separation, emergent vortices, flocking transition.

A chiral ionic liquid (IL), S-[3-(chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium] [bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide] (S-[CHTA](+)[Tf(2)N](-)), which can be easily and readily synthesized in a one-step process from commercially available reagents, can be successfully used both as co-electrolyte and as a chiral selector for CE. A variety of pharmaceutical products including atenolol, propranolol, wa...

In the original version of this Article, Affiliation 2 was omitted for Qinghua Zhang. In addition, there were typographical errors. In the Results section under subheading 'Chromatographic separation' " The peak resolution factors (R s) of these chiral compounds were generally high than 1 except for PCB-174 and-83 " now reads: " The peak resolution factors (R s) of these chiral compounds were g...

Determination of the chiral composition of drugs is nowadays a key step in order to determine purity, activity, bioavailability, biodegradation, etc., of pharmaceuticals. In this article, works published for the last 5 years on the analysis of chiral drugs by liquid separation techniques coupled with mass spectrometry are reviewed. Namely, chiral analysis of pharmaceuticals including, e.g., ant...

We calculate anomaly induced conductivities from a holographic gauge theory model using Kubo formulas, making a clear conceptual distinction between thermodynamic state variables such as chemical potentials and external background fields. This allows us to pinpoint ambiguities in previous holographic calculations of the chiral magnetic conductivity. We also calculate the corresponding anomalous...

A hexafullereno-diporphyrinoid was obtained in a sequence of cycloaddition steps using porphyrins programmed for [4+2]-cycloaddition reactions and C(60)-fullerene.
