This invention relates to silicone compositions which can be crosslinked, preferably into elastomers, by hydrosilylation of at least one PolyOrganoSiloxane -A- carrying unsaturated bonds, using at least one polyorganohydrosiloxane &#x2014;B&#x2014; in the presence of a carbene-based metal catalyst &#x2014;C&#x2014; as defined in the description and which optionally comprises at least one inhibitor -D- of the hydrosilylation reaction.

Computer programs and computer-implemented methods implement techniques for evaluating experimental data from a library of materials. The techniques receive a plurality of images of a library of materials that includes an array of members associated with locations in the library. User input identifying a plurality of regions of interest is received. A series of reduced data values is determined for one or more of the regions of interest as a statistical function of a plurality of pixel values for pixels in the corresponding regions. A figure of merit is calculated from one or more of the series of reduced data values for a library member at the corresponding library location. The regions of interest include a plurality of pixels in the images and correspond to locations in the library.

Analysis of chemical data from images

An apparatus for in-situ injection of one or more chemical components into a reaction chamber is disclosed. The apparatus includes a reaction chamber for receiving one or more libraries, each of the libraries comprising two or more samples. The reaction chamber is configured to form a sealed enclosure. The apparatus further includes an injection manifold supporting injectors for in-situ injection of one or more chemical components onto respective samples of the one or more libraries in the pressurized sealed reaction chamber.

In-Situ Injection and materials screening device

An apparatus for in-situ injection of one or more chemical components into a reaction chamber, comprising a reaction chamber for receiving one or more libraries including two or more samples; an injection module in fluid communication with the reaction chamber for permitting in-situ injection of one or more chemical components into the reaction chamber; and a selectively movable transport assembly supported by at least a portion of the reaction chamber for transporting the one or more libraries to the injection module.

In-situ injection and materials screening device

Computer programs and computer-implemented methods are disclosed for extracting and analyzing combinatorial chemical data from images. The invention receives a stream of data, identifies a plurality of regions of interest and determines a series of values for one or more regions of interest. The library includes a plurality of members. The data stream includes a series of images of the library. Each region of interest corresponds to a location in each of the images and to a location in the library. The series of values for each region includes a value for each of the images. Particular embodiments have the following features. The invention calculates a figure of merit for a library member from each series of values. The stream of data comprises a series of images generated at a frequency of greater than about 1, 6, 12 or 30 frames per second. The series of images is captured from a beginning of a combinatorial experiment to an end of a commercial experiment. The regions of interest are identified after the series of images has been captured. The images are infrared images. The figure of merit is an emittance change, a phase transition point or a thermoelectric figure of merit for a library member. Regions of interest are identified by a user and have a user-defined shape. The series of values for each region is determined based on a user-defined computation. A graphical representation of the figures of merit is displayed.

New ligands, compositions, metal-ligand complexes and arrays with pyridyl-amine ligands are disclosed that catalyze the polymerization of monomers into polymers. Certain of these catalysts with hafnium metal centers have high performance characteristics, including higher comonomer incorporation into ethylene/olefin copolymers, where such olefins are for example, 1-octene, isobutylene or styrene. Certain of the catalysts are particularly effective at polymerizing propylene to high molecular weight isotactic polypropylene in a solution process at a variety of polymerization conditions.

Phosphino substituted pyridine amine ligands

The present invention discloses new organic compounds (e.g., ligands), their metal complexes and compositions using those compounds. The invention also relates to the field of catalysis. In particular, this invention relates to new compounds which when combined with suitable metals or metal precursor compounds provide useful catalysts for various bond-forming reactions, including Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. The invention also relates to performing Suzuki cross coupling reactions with unreactive aryl-chlorides.
