ReactIR: FTIR Spectrometer Technology & Applications

FTIR spectroscopy can monitor most chemistries in which the molecule is infrared active and there's a change in that molecule, the chemistry is in solution or there's an off-gas from the reaction, and the concentration is greater than approximately 0.1%. www.mt.com/us/...
In Situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy applications include polymer synthesis, high pressure, reactions, hydrogenation, hydroformylation or oxo synthesis/process, Grignard reaction, halogenation, organic synthesis, biocatalysis, continuous flow chemistry, fermentation, and bioprocessing.
In situ FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) Spectroscopy allows chemists to answer fundamental questions. When does my chemical reaction start? When does it stop? What's the mechanism? What do my kinetics look like?
ReactIR in situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy allows real-time monitoring of key reaction species. Following reaction progression, ReactIR in situ FTIR spectroscopy provides detailed information about reaction initiation, conversion, intermediates, and endpoint.
In situ, mid-FTIR for reaction analysis in real-time has become an important analytical tool since ReactIR was introduced in 1994. Used to aid in the development of new molecules and reaction optimization in both academia and industry, it is unique and complementary to HPLC, NMR, and other offline analytical data, as the data is generated under actual reaction conditions. This in situ technique provides critical information as the answer to challenging kinetic or mechanistic studies.
In situ mid-infrared spectroscopy provides concentration dependences of reacting components in situ and in real-time, allowing kinetic studies to deliver an improved understanding of reaction mechanisms and pathways.
Due to the comprehensive nature of the data, the calculation of rate laws with fewer experiments is possible via continuous data. Commonly used as complementary orthogonal information to offline analytical techniques, such as HPLC and NMR, in situ infrared spectroscopy provides the missing piece of the puzzle that completes the understanding of the reaction.
