Abstract

Abstract Baseline separation was achieved when dansylated alanine methyl ester (denoted by dan-ala-me) was eluted with methanol on an HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) column (5 cm × 4 mm (i.d.)) packed with an ion-exchange adduct of synthetic hectorite and Δ-[Ru(phen)3]2+ (phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline). In order to unravel the separation mechanisms, the adsorption state of R- or S-dan-ala-me on a modified clay surface was investigated by means of solid-state vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy. It was deduced that a dan-ala-me molecule changed its conformation, depending on the chirality relation to a co-adsorbed Ru(II) complex. The theoretical simulation of an association between a Ru(II) complex and a dan-ala-me molecule supported the conclusion.
