Chemical Reaction Monitoring Via Zero-Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Caption

Chemical reaction monitoring via zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR): A sequential hydrogenation reaction (A->B->C) is initiated inside a metal reactor inserted into a magnetically shielded enclosure. The NMR spectrum of the heterogeneous (gas/liquid) reaction is recorded with an atomic magnetometer positioned next to the reactor. Analysis of the spectra acquired during the course of the reaction reveals the changing concentrations of compounds B and C.
