In Project B06, we will elucidate the relation between the position of the active molecular complex in the SILP material and the resulting activity, selectivity, and stability of the catalyst. We envisage that for e.g poorly soluble substrates the reaction is still fast if the active species is located at the gas/IL interface and slow if the active spe-cies is located in the IL bulk or at the IL/support interface. We will determine solubility of different substrates in ILs and test competitive conversion of mixed feeds containing substrates with strongly differing solubility. Systematic kinetic tests will be performed varying the IL (chain length and functionalisation), the catalyst (ligand variation) and the operation conditions.
