An integrated total neutron scattering – NMR approach for the study of heterogeneous catalysis†
Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and total neutron scattering techniques are established methods for the characterisation of liquid phases in confined pore spaces during chemical reactions. Herein, we describe the first combined total neutron scattering – NMR setup as a probe for the catalytic heterogeneous reduction of benzene-d6 with D2 in 3 wt% Pt/MCM-41.
