✦ Synopsis


An easily accessible device for the study of reactions with gases in the liquid phase, consisting of a 10 mm NMR tube with a gas inlet, is presented. This arrangement serves for reaction monitoring and mechanistic studies by acquiring NMR spectra (1H, 13C, 31P) with a resolution that allows one to observe and characterize intermediates that cannot be isolated as pure substances. The quantity of the gas to be consumed is not limited. Examples from organometallic chemistry are presented : the formation of a zirconacyclopentene from a zirconium-alkyne complex and ethylene and investigations on rhodium-catalysed oleÐn hydrogenation. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the measurements and application to reaction kinetics are discussed. An uptake of 0.1 ml of gas per minute at normal pressure (isobaric) is possible without a marked inÑuence of di †usion (stationary conditions). 1997 ( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
