A novel and ultrasensitive chiral detector for high-performance liquid chromatography has been developed. This detector Is based on the measurement of circular dichroism of chiral effluents by the thermal lens effect. In this Instrument, the chromatographic effluent was sequentially excited by left circularly polarized laser light (LCPL) and right circularly po-larized laser light (RCPL); both of these excitation beams were derived from the same argon Ion laser whose linearly polarized output was transformed Into circularly polarized Bght by means of a Pockels cell. The heat generated as a con-sequence of the sample absorption of the LCPL and RCPL was measured by the probe laser beam colllnearly overlap-ping with the two excitation beams. A lock-in amplifier was used to measure the thermal lens-circular dichroism (TL-CD) signal which corresponds to the difference in the thermal lens signals produced by the LCPL and RCPL excitation beams. In addition to Its high sensitivity, the advantages of this TL-CD chiral detector IncludeIts ability to provide, directly and In real time, Information on the chirality (le, circular dichroism) and optical purity of chiral samples. A detection limit of 7.2 ng was achieved for (-)-trte (ethylenedlamlne) co-balt (III)(*'= 0.45) as well as for the (+)-trls (ethylenedl-amlne) cobalt (III)(k'= 1.40) when these two enantiomers were chromatographIcally separated from the corresponding racemic mixture through the use of bls (pd-tartrato) dl-antknonate (III) Ion pair reversed-phase chromatography. This limit of detection was found by using a 10-mL flow cell and having 5-mm path length and 6-mW excitation laser beam (X= 514.5 nm) modulated at 2 Hz.The analysis of chiral drugs has increasingly become an important subject in science as well as in technology. The popularity or rather demand is based on the fact that of 1327 totally synthetic drugs which are currently marketed worldwide, 528 are chiral and capable of existing as two or more optical isomers. Very often, only one form óf enantiomers is pharmacologically active. The other or others can reverse or otherwise limit the effect of the desired enantiomer. However, only 61 of the 528 chiral synthetic drugs are marketed as single enantiomers, while the other 467 are sold as racemates. It is thus hardly surprising that the pharmaceuticalindustry needs effective analytical and preparative separation methods for a variety of enantiomericcompounds (1). Liquid chromatography (LC) seems to be the instrument of choice because of its efficiency, speed, wide applicability, and reproducibility. Various approaches have been made in the last few years to use the LC for optical resolution of racemic mixtures into enantiomers. Perhaps the most notable one is based on the use of cyclodextrinsolid stationary phase.
