Acronym: SFB 1452 CLINT C03
Start date : 01.01.2021
End date : 31.12.2024
In Project C03, we will elucidate the fundamental interaction mechanisms between functionalised ILs and catalytically active surfaces and their role in catalytic hydrogenation. To this aim, we will combine in situ studies at single crystals and atomically defined model catalysts in UHV with operando spectroscopy on real SCILLs under true working conditions. Our key tools will be vibrational spectroscopy (IRAS, PM-IRAS, DRIFTS) in combination with online analytics of products (MB experiments, TPD, TPR, online GC, online QMS). Specifically, we will identify interaction mechanisms at the surface, the orientation of IL ions, conformational changes, specific interactions with co-adsorbates, reaction intermediates and selectivity patterns.
