High‐Throughput Screening of Catalysts by Combining Reaction and Analysis

Abstract

Drudgery minimized, efficiency maximized: By combining catalysis and separation in microcapillaries greater than 2 cm in length, it is possible to efficiently determine the reaction kinetics for entire libraries of substrates. This was demonstrated for hydrogenations over highly active Pd nanoparticles and ring-closing metatheses over the Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst. R: reagents, P: products.
