Webinar: In-Situ FTIR Spectroscopy to Study Reaction Kinetics
Using ReactIR to Efficiently Collect Kinetic Data for Formation and Consumption of an Unstable Intermediate
Program Overview
- Use of ReactIR for kinetic data collection
- Fitting RRFs of non-isolable compounds using Reaction Lab
- How Reaction Lab combined with accurate and efficient data collection can compensate for a weaker background in reaction kinetics
Eoghan Delany of APC Ltd. presents a detailed work-through on how online IR, offline HPLC, and Reaction Lab can be combined to follow the formation of an unstable intermediate and its subsequent forward reaction to a stable product.
Typically, collecting kinetic data revolves around HPLC. While HPLC has some advantages for most reactions, in-situ IR analysis with ReactIR is often overlooked in favor of more traditional HPLC methods. For fast reactions and/or non-isolable species, we review how ReactIR offers a more comprehensive means of kinetic data collection than traditional HPLC.
