The present invention is directed to enantioselective polyelectrolyte
complex films. Further, said films may be free or isolated membranes, or
coatings on substrates such a porous substrates, capillary tubes,
chromatographic packing material, and monolithic stationary phases and
used to separate chiral compounds. The present invention is also directed
to a method for forming such enantioselective polyelectrolyte complex
films.
