Columns containing different types of cyclodextrin derivatives have been evaluated for chiral gas chromatographic separation of atropisomeric PCBs, o,p´‐DDT and o,p´‐DDD. Separation was attempted on columns containing mixed chiral selectors, and the performance of two closely related selectors was also examined. The cyclodextrins were: permethylated‐β‐CD (PM‐β‐CD), heptakis(2,3‐di‐O‐methyl‐6‐O‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐CD (2,3‐M‐6‐TBDMS‐β‐CD), heptakis(2,3‐di‐O‐methyl‐6‐O‐tert‐hexyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐CD (2,3‐M‐6‐THDMS‐β‐CD), and heptakis(2,3‐di‐O‐ethyl‐6‐O‐tert‐hexyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin (2,3‐E‐6‐THDMS‐β‐CD). The cyclodextrins were dissolved in OV‐1701 or in a dimethylsiloxane/silarylene copolymer containing 5% phenyl in the backbone. The application of mixed chiral selectors led to improved separations, however; at most eleven PCB congeners were separated on a single column. Chiral resolution of o,p´‐DDD was achieved. The use of a dimethylsiloxane/silarylene copolymer as a matrix for the cyclodextrins is a promising approach. With such a matrix, blocking of the CD cavities by silicone substituent groups can be avoided, and a reasonable CD solubility can be provided. The selectivity of heptakis(2,3‐di‐O‐ethyl‐6‐O‐tert‐hexyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐CD and heptakis(2,3‐di‐O‐methyl‐6‐O‐tert‐hexyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐CD was quite different, the former selector could separate four congeners, while the latter separated ten congeners.
