Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The goal of this proposal is to develop and validate an in-situ Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)-based screening and optimisation methodology for heterogenised organocatalytic systems, able to monitor and evaluate catalyst activity, transport and surface interactions at a pore-scale level in such functionalised materials. Batch reaction studies combined with in-situ 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, diffusion and relaxation techniques will give new and exclusive insights into these systems by providing quantitative data on intra-pore kinetics, diffusion and adsorption, which will be able to direct catalyst formulation and reaction design by evaluating the controlling interactions and mass transport phenomena of the various reactant/solvent/product species within the pores of the heterogenised catalytic system, hence aid selection of optimal reaction parameters such as choice of suitable solvents, solid supports, pore size and type of linker to immobilise the organocatalyst on support. The validation of this methodology in heterogenised organocatalysis will be a significant step forward towards effective screening and development of these materials, which can be expanded to other related technologies using functionalised porous materials.
