Wiktor Kemula - among the pioneers of supramolecular chemistry
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Professor Wiktor Kemula, recognizing the importance of chemical analysis for the economic progress of the society, systematically applied new achievements of physical chemistry to the analytical procedures. After having successfully developed the chromatopolarography, he tried to apply varous types of sorbents for chromatographic separations. Application of clathrates, or inclusion compunds, as the sorbents led to the clathrate chromatography', where the separation of the guests depended mostly on their geometric fitting to the host cavities. Recognition of the structures of the clathrates, of the mechanisms of sorption, the separations of isomers, specially of the aliphatic and aromatic nitrocompounds, were at the time notable achievements. Other principles of detection - adsorption-sensitive AC polarography - allowed to W. Kemula and his coworkers to widen the scope of the method to many electro-inactive compounds. Being formally long retired, he worked out new ideas of elektrokinetic detection, and left it to his students. In the early 80th he was active in starting the series of symposia on supramolecular chemistry, and was one of the founders of the Journal o f Inclusion Phenomena. Every few years he introduced in his laboratory new methods - thermogravimetry, X-ray structural investigations. His ideas are continued and modernized by his onetime students, in the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The clathrates were slowly replaced by the cyclodextrines, which permitted to develop a new field - chiral separation, very important and prospective in the analysis of drugs or food additives.
