In this system, the analytes migrated with the micellar phase towards the anode and were detected by electrochem- istry using gold microelectrode at +0.65 V vs. SCE. The success of the chiral separations is strongly dependent on the concentration of β-CD and SDS, and the optimal concentration is 8 mmol?L-1 and 15 mmol?L-1 respectively. The effects of detection potential, pH value of electrolyte and applied voltage were discussed also. Using the pro- posed method, baseline separation of the enantiomers could be accomplished in 6 min. Further, an attempt was made to elucidate the plausible mechanism of the chiral recognition.展开更多
