High pressure NMR flow cell for the insitu study of homogeneous catalysis
Abstract
A novel, convenient high pressure NMR flow cell for the insitu study of homogeneous catalysis capable of operating over the pressure range 1 to 200 bar and temperature range -40 to 175°C is described; importantly, the inlet gas passes through the reaction solution ensuring good gas–solution mixing and maintaining the concentration of reacting gas in the solution thus preventing starvation of the reaction of gaseous reagents; the cell has been used to study the reaction of a rhodium–ruthenium bimetallic complex with CO.
