Project

Developing flow reactor system for C-H functionalization, Fundamental understanding of chemisty & physics of CO2 adsorption

To enable an enantioselective C-H functionalization in flow, we are developing a flow reactor system with hollow fiber reactor, where organometallic catalyst is immobilized in the porous fiber wall. This project is based on the supported amine adsorbents to extract CO2 from air. We are going to fundamentally understand the process of CO2 adsorption/desorption at the molecular level by studying ulta-low pressure CO2- amine interactions.
