text: Chiral crown stationary phases consist Crown ethers, immobilized or bonded to the support particles, are polyethers with a macrocyclic structure that can create host-guest complexes with alkali, earth-alkali metal ions, and ammonium cations. The skeleton of the cyclic structure is composed of oxygen and methylene groups arranged alternately. The electron-donating ether oxygens are positioned within the inner wall of the crown cavity, and are encircled by methylene groups in a collar-like arrangement. The chiral recognition is based on two distinct diastereomeric inclusion complexes that can be generated. The primary interactions facilitating complexation involve hydrogen bonds, formed between the three amine hydrogens and the oxygens of the macrocyclic ether, arranged in a tripod configuration. Additionally, ionic interactions, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds can occur between the carbocyclic groups and polar groups of the analytes, providing further support for the complexes.
