    Abstract

    Two chiral stationary phases which exploit DNA as a chiral discriminator have been developed. A covalently-bound DNA stationary phase for HPLC applications was used to optically resolve [Ru(dipyrido[6,7-d:2′,3′-f]-quinoxaline)3]2+ and [Ru(1,10-phenanthroline)3]2+ complex ions. This shows that the column retention times are influenced both by pH and by the size of the aromatic ligands. DNA-immobilised on cellulose paper proved effective for simultaneously comparing the relative retention of a number of metal complexes and RF data correlate well with the degree of aromatic area in the complexes available for intercalation into DNA.
