New insights into catalysis for Heck reactions with fine supported Pd particles

React. Chem. Eng., 2020, 5,921-934
DOI: 10.1039/C9RE00480G, Paper
Lin Huang, Zhan Wang, Jozel Tan
The catalytic activity over supported Pd particles is dependent on the concentration of soluble active Pd species. The correlation that the smaller the size of supported Pd particles, the higher the catalytic activity is confirmed.

An automated flow chemistry platform to decouple mixing and reaction times

React. Chem. Eng., 2020, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D0RE00129E, Communication
Robert W. Epps, Amanda A. Volk, Kameel Abdel-Latif, Milad Abolhasani
We present a flow chemistry platform that decouples precursor mixing rates from reaction time using solely off-the-shelf components. We then utilize this platform towards material-efficient studies of mass transfer-controlled synthesis of inorganic perovskite quantum dots.
