Semi-batch, Non-preconditioned, Monometallic Catalytic Data

3 Semi-batch, Non-preconditioned, Monometallic Catalytic Data 

The need for preconditioning is not only somewhat bothersome, but it also has the potential of introducing minor artifacts since the reference spectra are not exact for each reaction condition. Thus, the direct application of Eq. (2) without preconditioning was undertaken. In addition, instead of performing multiple reaction runs, a semi-batch approach was adopted, whereby a reaction is started and then perturbations are performed throughout the duration. The semi-batch approach is potentially much more frugal with experimental resources. 

It is instructive to integrate all the pure component signals and compare this to the integrated reaction spectra. This provides a useful indication of the amount of signal recovered. Table 4.1 shows this result. The sum of the individual contributions is ca. 103% of the integrated reaction spectra. This result simple re-affirms a
