The present invention relates to a catalytically active composition comprising as active component The present invention further provides a process for dehydrogenating hydrocarbons, preferably oxo-functionalized hydrocarbons such as cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and isovaleraldehyde, using the catalytically active composition.

Catalytically active composition and the use thereof in dehydration methods

The present invention relates to a device () for analyzing and archiving at least one combinatorial library of materials, comprising at least:

Device for archiving and analyzing of materials

A process and apparatus for testing material libraries, in particular catalysts, by means of coupled use of at least two analytical methods, preferably IR thermography and mass spectrometry. Owing to the selected arrangement, the disadvantages of the two previously known individual methods are compensated for: the subsequent selectivity determination for selected sections by means of mass spectrometry invalidates the argument against IR thermography, of only being able to determine activities; the rapid integrated determination of potentially 'good' materials via IR thermography prevents an excessive loss of time by needing to test all materials of a library successively with the mass spectrometer. The reactor design permits, firstly, the integral recording of the entire reactor through a window which is transparent for the corresponding method and, secondly, permits the simultaneous, automated application of a second analytical method (for example mass spectrometry) to selected materials of a material library, which have been rated as active by the optical method. In the case described, the optical method provides information on the material activity for a set problem, and the second analytical method determines the selectivity of the materials.

Process and apparatus for the combinatorial production and testing of catalyst material libraries by using at least two analytical methods

The invention relates to a novel structured catalyst bed which optionally comprises at least one part bed comprising at least one catalytically active mixture of oxides of the main group metals and transition metals and additionally comprises at least one catalytically active part bed comprising at least silver, at least one alkali metal and a porous support material and finally and necessarily at least one catalytically active part bed comprising at least one alkali metal phosphate and at least one sheet silicate.

Structured catalyst bed

The invention relates to an automated method for carrying out reactions with high spatial resolution on libraries of different materials and for analysis of the products obtained using a simple robot system and an analyzer, for example a mass spectrometer.

Automated method for examining catalytic and spectroscopic properties of the components of combinatorial libraries

The invention relates to a method for the automated production and iterative automated optimization of a substance library and/or at least one reaction parameter relating to a performance characteristic comprising at least two substances comprising the steps of: a) defining at least one production parameter and at least one test parameter; b) automated preparation of a substance library by producing at least two substances on the basis of the at least one production parameter; c) automated testing of the at least two substances of the substance library with respect to at least one performance characteristic on the basis of the at least one test parameter; d) evaluating the test using electronic data analysis; e) varying the at least one production parameter and/or the at least one test parameter for optimizing the performance characteristics, and single or repeated repetition of steps b) to e) or c) to e); characterized in that the steps b) to e) are carried out in an integrated automated process.

Computer-aided optimization of substance libraries

The present invention relates to a method for the wet chemical preparation of materials libraries consisting of a large number of solids, the solids being deposited from reaction mixtures in microreaction chambers onto a bottom plate which simultaneously serves as the library substrate. Depending on the material selected for the library substrate, the solids can subsequently be examined non-destructively, for example, by reflecting or penetrating microarea X-ray diffraction.
