In a novel approach to the use of macrocycles in separation systems, we report the use of macrocyclic ligands as electroosmotic flow modifiers for the separation of inorganic anions by capillary electrophoresis (CE). Inorganic anions were successfully separated through the use of 18-crown-6 or cryptand 2.2.2. as electroosmotic flow modifiers. We found that… (More)
