Solid Dispensing Technologies for Microscale & Nanoscale Reaction Screening

October 3, 2023

The Power of High-Throughput Experimentation: General Topics and Enabling Technologies for Synthesis and Catalysis (Volume 1)

The ability to rapidly examine diverse reaction conditions in parallel at micromole or nanomole scales without depleting precious starting materials is of critical importance to methodological development and reaction optimization. Assembling a comprehensive screening set requires the distribution of substantial number of solid reagents with diverse physical properties in small quantities. Automated sub-milligram solid dispensing has long been a challenge with no practical and reliable solutions. The lack of a general solid dispensing method for chemical reagents on micro-and nanomole scales prevents the full utilization of reaction screening technologies. This chapter aims to provide updated information on recent developments in solid handling technology and their applications in small-scale powder dispensing.

Complementary and Spatially Resolved Operando Spectroscopic Investigation of Pt/Al₂O₃ and Pt/CeO₂ Catalysts during CO/NO Conversion

The composition of reaction mixtures strongly influences the structural evolution and performance of noble metal-based catalysts. In this work, we compared the effect of the simultaneous presence of CO and NO on the noble metal state and CO oxidation activity of Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/CeO2 catalysts under close-to-stoichiometric conditions using complementary in situ/operando X-ray and infrared spectroscopic techniques.

Influence of the CeO₂ Morphology and Initial Pd–Pt Interaction Degree on Catalyst Activity and Stability

Due to its peculiar properties and strong interaction with noble metals, ceria is widely used as a catalyst support for numerous applications. In this work, morphologically pure and highly crystalline ceria nanocubes and nanorods were prepared to systematically investigate both the impact of the support morphology and Pd–Pt interaction degree on the noble metal-support interplay during CO oxidation.

High-throughput RAFT Polymerization via Automated Batch, Increment, and Continuous Flow Platforms

We report an automated strategy to conduct RAFT copolymerizations using a Chemspeed robotic platform capable of executing batch, incremental, and continuous monomer addition workflows under inert conditions. Copolymerizations of oligo(ethylene glycol) acrylate with benzyl acrylate (as a control) and fluorescein o-acrylate were conducted in toluene, THF, and DMF, with reaction progress monitored via ¹H NMR spectroscopy at defined intervals.
