- substrate reservoir 6 comprises wells. More preferably, substrate reservoir 6 is sized to accommodate reaction tubes 24. Even more preferably, the tubes comprise a septum cap 72 at one end.

- head plate 10 comprises surface heaters 40.
- head plate 10 comprises resistance temperature detectors 26 in communication with control system 70 to monitor and control the temperature in head plate 10.
- the thickness of the liquid film allows the reaction rate to be "essentially independent" of the mass transport rate of a second gaseous reactant system into the liquid.
- “essentially independent” means that in comparison with other possible rate limiting factors, mass transport limitations are sufficiently low to allow comparative evaluations of potential reactant system components.
- Optimum film thickness values can vary based on reaction conditions and the identity of reactant system components. Those skilled in the art will readily realize that in various systems, a minimum film thickness may be required to overcome the effects of evaporation or the formation of micro amounts of precipitate and the like. As such, optimum film thickness may not equate to the thinnest possible film that can be formed in a given application.
- mass transport in a homogeneous liquid-phase reaction in which the availability of oxygen in the liquid phase is the rate limiting factor, mass transport can be expressed in the following manner. First, it is assumed that the reaction is a first order liquid-phase homogeneous reaction, or is limited by the gaseous reactant (e.g. oxygen) dissolved in the liquid. Second, mass transport effects in the gas phase are ignored, since the transport rate in the gas phase is significantly higher than the transport rate in the liquid phase. Third, it is assumed that the gas contacts the liquid film only on the top surface of the film and that the film has uniform thickness. It is noted that the amount of gas available at the gas/liquid interface can also be increased by increasing the pressure of the gas in the reaction vessel. With these assumptions in mind, the steady state relationship among the liquid film thickness (L), the rate constant (k), and the diffusivity (D) of dissolved gas in the liquid can be expressed as follows:
- k denotes a first order reaction rate constant of the homogeneous chemical reaction with respect to the dissolved form of the gaseous reactant system
- the value of z is 0 at one surface of the film (i.e., the top), and, if the reaction is carried out in a vessel that supports the film from the bottom, the value of z is L at the opposing surface of the film (i.e., the bottom). It is also contemplated that the film may be supported on its sides (e.g., in a capillary tube or the like) or may be suspended in another manner that allows gas to be presented to both the bottom and top surfaces of the film simultaneously. In this situation, the value of z is L at the midpoint of the film.
- mass transport in the gaseous phase may be increased by pressurizing the gas; therefore, it is preferred that the gas be maintained at a pressure greater than 1 atmosphere while in contact with the liquid.
- Many homogeneous reactions respond favorably to increased temperature; therefore, in alternative embodiments, the liquid can be maintained at temperatures above 0° C while in contact with the gas.
- At least one reactant in reactor 2 comprises a gas 46 in headspace 12.
- reactant 28 in substrate reservoir 6 comprises a liquid having a thickness L.
- thickness L is sufficient to allow the reaction to be independent of the mass transport rate of gaseous reactant 46 into liquid reactant 28.
- thickness L is defined by equation (1) above, where k is the rate constant of the reaction being studied and D is the diffiisivity of gaseous reactant 46 in the liquid reactant 28.
- b is preferably defined by equation (2) above, where the value of z ranges from a minimum of 0 at the surface 78 of liquid reactant 28 adjacent to gaseous reactant 46 to a maximum of L at the area 80 of said liquid reactant 28 furthest from gaseous reactant 46.
- the liquid reactant can have at least two surfaces exposed to a gaseous reactant.
- b ranges from 0 to 5. More preferably, b ranges from 0 to 2.
- reaction tubes 24 are subjected to analysis for product formation.
- analysis is a method such as size exclusion chromatography, spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- an embodiment of an aspect of the invention comprises the following steps.
- Thermal unit 8 and base plate 52 are assembled, and reaction substrate 4 is positioned on top of thermal unit 8 (step 1).
- a predetermined amount of reactants 28 at least partially embodied in a liquid comprising a film thickness L are added to individual reaction vials 24.
- the invention contemplates that the use of individual reaction vials will enable multiple reagents or catalysts to be tested in one experiment.
- the vials 24 are sealed with a septum cap 72 and placed in wells 6 in reaction substrate 4 (step 2). Head plate 10 is then lowered on to reaction substrate 4 with the aid of counterweight system 60 (see Fig.
- controller 70 is used to heat thermal unit (8) (step 4).
- Gas 46 is pumped from gas supply 38 into head space 12 to establish an atmosphere of predetermined pressure (step 5).
- the gas may be a gas inert to the reaction, or may comprise a second reactant.
- the invention contemplates that the atmosphere in the headspace outside of the reaction vial 12 will equilibrate with the atmosphere inside the reaction vial 76, thereby presenting gaseous reactants 46 to each set of liquid reactants presented in each vial.
- Computer 70 controlled resistance temperature detectors 26 enable precise control of the temperature of the reaction substrate, thermal unit and head plate.
- the method and apparatus of the present invention may provide one or more of the following advantages over conventional screening techniques:
- Rapid cycle time allows apparatus to support the needs of several research projects.

- the multi-well combinatorial chemistry catalyst screening reactor is a pressure vessel (45-50 atm.) reactor with automated heating and cooling capabilities.
- the reaction substrate has 48 wells, each sized to hold a standard 1.8 ml glass vial into which appropriate reagents, catalysts and solvents are placed.
- the system can be heated up to 200 degrees Celsius and pressurized with a gas specific to the reaction being studied.
- gases employed include nitrogen, air, oxygen-enriched air, or carbon dioxide.
- the invention also contemplates the use of mixed gases, such as carbon monoxide with enriched air and the like, using mass flow controllers to form an appropriate feed gas mixture.
- the reaction substrate is heated by cartridge heaters placed in a heating/cooling block (thermal unit) upon which the reaction substrate is placed.
- the head plate which is used to form a pressurized headspace above the reaction vials, is heated separately using surface heaters. Cooling is accomplished by running tap water through cooling channels in the heating/cooling block.
- the supply of gas to the head space, heating and cooling of the reaction substrate, and heating of the head plate are all computer controlled.
- the overall reactor set-up includes the reactor vessel, a gas supply system, a heater control system, a cooling water supply system, and a computer that has been programmed to operate the gas supply and pressurization functions as well as the heating and cooling functions.
- the reactor includes a circular carbon steel base plate, a copper heating/cooling block (thermal unit), an aluminum 48-well reaction block (reaction substrate), and a stainless steel heat plate.
- the aluminum 48-well reaction block is
- This block also has a variety of thermal sensors for temperature monitoring and control.
- the stainless steel head plate is 1.38 inch thick x 8.85 inch diameter.
- the head plate seals to the aluminum reaction block using a VITON® o-ring that fits into a groove in the aluminum reaction block.
- Surface heaters are mounted on top of the head plate in order to keep the head plate sufficiently hot to avoid condensation of reaction components within the reactor headspace.
- thermal sensors are mounted in the head plate for temperature monitoring and control. The surface heaters are temperature feedback-controlled using computerized control system.
- the copper heating / cooling block is 1 inch thick x 7 inch diameter.
- the block has serpentine channels (0.312 inch diameter) for cooling water, various thermal sensors for temperature monitoring and control, and seven cartridge heaters (1/4 inch diameter) inserted horizontally into the block.
- the cartridge heaters are powered by a separate 220 VAC circuit. Power to the cartridge heaters is feedback- controlled by a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) temperature control algorithm that is part of the computer control software.
- the carbon steel base plate is 0.8 inch thick x 8.85 inch diameter.
- the plate has eight tapped holes (1/2" diameter) arranged around the perimeter for studs that are used to clamp the copper heating/cooling block and aluminum reaction block between the head plate and base plate. This clamping secures the reactor to the high pressures used in the head space above the reaction vials.
