Laser addressable compounds applications

Applications of Laser Addressable Compounds and Near-IR Absorbers... 

Therefore, heterogeneous catalysts present a greater potential for the application of HT and Combinatorial methods, because they involve diverse compositional phases that are usually formed by interfacial reactions during their synthesis, which in turn produce a variety of structural and textural properties, often too vast to prepare and test by traditional methods. In this respect the HT and Combinatorial methods extend the capabilities of the R D cycle, which comprises the synthesis, the characterization of physicochemical properties and the evaluation of catalytic properties. The primary screening HT method gives the possibility of performing a rapid test of hundreds or thousands of compounds using infrared detection methods [27-29]. Alternatively, a detection method called REMPI (Resonance Enhanced Multi Photon Ionization) has been used, which consists of the in situ ionization of reaction products by UV lasers, followed by the detection of the photoions or electrons by spatially addressable microelectrodes placed in the vicinity of the laser beam [30, 31].
