Cyclodextrins as chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis: Recent trends in mechanistic studies

In the present review the potential of capillary electrophoresis for a better understanding of the fine structural mechanisms of noncovalent interactions and enantioselective intermolecular recognition is highlighted for cyclodextrins and their guests. The importance of applying additional experimental and molecular modeling tools is stressed. The concept is illustrated by results published in the recent literature. The critical opinion of the authors on some current tendencies is provided.
