The increasing demand of the chiral compounds in drug and food industries has stimulated the considerable attention towards the chiral recognition and separation methods. For this, a number of chiral selectors have been employed for the recognition of enantiomers. In this context, chiral ionic liquids (CILs) have appeared as cheap and lucrative chiral selectors. The present report enlightens the role of CILs in chiral recognition of the enantiomers using various analytical techniques such as NMR and fluorescence spectroscopy, liquid and gas chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. Due to plethora of reports published in this direction, we have tried to limit our discussion about the literature published in the last decade only.

药物和食品工业中对手性化合物的需求不断增长，引起了人们对手性识别和分离方法的极大关注。为此，已经使用许多手性选择剂来识别对映异构体。在这种情况下，手性离子液体（CIL）表现为廉价且有利可图的手性选择剂。本报告使用各种分析技术（例如NMR和荧光光谱，液相和气相色谱以及毛细管电泳）启发了CIL在对映体手性识别中的作用。由于在这个方向上发表了大量的报告，因此我们试图限制我们对过去十年中发表的文献的讨论。
