Systematische Entwicklung der Reaktionschromatographie für das Hochdurchsatzscreening von Katalysatoren
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
To achieve a high-throughput in the screening of catalytic properties of new materials typically reactors and reaction vessels in a highly parallelized fashion are developed. The advantages are manifold, because reaction batches are prepared with a high reproducibility, reactions are performed under comparable reaction conditions, typically less reagents are used and therefore the chemical waste is reduced, in average shorter testing cycles are achieved and the overall expenses per test are reduced. For the reactant and product analysis several analytical techniques were adapted to match the throughput of these screening assays. Despite these advances there is still a bottle-neck in the application of chromatographic techniques, which have the advantage that even complex reaction mixtures can be analyzed and the field of applications is very broad. In this research project two chromatographic techniques have been developed and investigated to increase the throughput in catalyst screening: On-column reaction chromatography and electrophoresis and multiplexing gas chromatography. For the kinetic investigation of hydrogenation over highly active palladium nanoparticles a throughput of up to 5880 reactions in only 40 hours could be demonstrated (highlighted in Nature). To achieve such a high-throughput the separation selectivity of common stationary phases was combined with catalytic activity, e.g. Pd nanoparticles, metathesis catalysts. This allows studying not only one reaction at a time but by injection of reactant libraries complete sets of reactions under the same reaction conditions without any competing reaction. This gave access to comprehensive kinetic data sets which gave further insight into the reaction mechanisms and how to control reaction conditions. The investigation of (catalyzed) reactions in any chromatographic The here developed concept was then successfully extended to the study of various catalytic processes including C-C-coupling reactions, metathesis, immobilized NHC-ligands, immobilized salen type ligands, immobilized camphor ligands, and the investigation of higher order reactions in capillary electrophoresis. Multiplexing gas chromatography, which is a combination of information technology and chemical analysis, has been developed as a versatile tool to investigate reactions with large catalyst libraries. A maximum throughput of up to 453 samples/ h could be achieved on a single separation column. These results have been highlighted in the Editors’ Choice section of Science.
