Solid-state NMR investigations of SILP-based catalysts

Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 431791331
Project B05 aims at understanding the properties of the liquid/solid interface of Interface-enhanced SILPs using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. We will determine the dynamics of the IL and its interactions with the support, as well as the distance between the catalyst and the support by implementing advanced solid-state NMR methods, including 2D heteronuclear correlation and REDOR techniques. Ultimately, Parahydrogen Induced Polarisation (PHIP) in a Magic Angle Spinning probe will be developed as a novel tool to probe with enhanced sensitivity hydrogenation reactions in SILP catalysts in situ and operando. Active catalyst components, reaction intermediates and side products can thus be identified.
