Chiral Recognition in Separation Methods Mechanisms and Applications
The importance of chiral interactions for both preparative and analytical separations, particularly for pharmaceutical applications, is underlined by numerous publications in this field. Here, for the first time, a team of experienced analysts from indust

Preface
What drives a scientist to edit a book on a specific scientific subject such as chiral mechanisms in separation methods? Until December 2005, the journal Analytical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society (Washington, DC) had an A-page section that was dedicated to simple and clear presentations of the most recent techniques or the state of the art in a particular field or topic. The “A-page” section was prepared for a broad audience of chemists including industrial professionals, students as well as academics looking for information outside their field of expertise. Daniel W. Armstrong,1 one of the editors of this journal and a twenty-year+ long friend, invited me to present my view on chiral recognition mechanisms in a simple and clear way in an “A-page” article. In 2006, the “A-page” section was maintained as the first articles at the beginning of each first bi-monthly issue but the pagination was no longer page distinguished from the regular research articles published by the journal. During the time between the invitation and the submission, the A-page section was integrated into the rest of the journal and the article appeared as (2006) Anal Chem (78):2093–2099. The article was well received. John Dorsey,2 another very long time friend and colleague, invited me to present it as a lecture in his Dal-Nogare Award session of the 2008 Pittsburg Conference in New Orleans. I presented a talk focusing on the only part of chiral mechanisms that I really know and worked on: chiral recognition mechanism with the macrocyclic glycopeptide chiral selectors.
