Abstract:
A method for rapid screening of potential reactants, catalysts and reaction conditions, the method comprising:adding a plurality of reactant systems at least partially embodied in liquid to a reaction substrate comprising a plurality of substrate reservoirs to form a plurality of liquid reactant systems, wherein the reaction substrate has an adjustable first temperature; maintaining an adjustable pressure in a sealed headspace in communication with the reactant system; adding a gas to the sealed headspace wherein the gas equilibrates with each of the plurality of liquid reactant systems; maintaining said headspace at a second temperature; allowing the gas to react with the plurality of liquid reactant systems for a predetermined amount of time; and analyzing results thereof in an effort to discover potentially effective reactants, catalysts and reaction conditions, wherein said plurality of reactant systems at least partially embodied in liquid each comprises a film having a thickness L.
