Abstract:
Apparatus for parallel processing of multiple reaction mixtures, said apparatus comprising a reactor having an exterior surface, one or more vessels in the reactor for holding said reaction mixtures, each vessel having a central longitudinal axis, a cannula having a longitudinal axis, a distal end, and a port generally adjacent said distal end for transfer of said reaction material to or from the cannula, one or more cannula passages in the reactor extending between said exterior surface of the reactor and said one or more vessels, the one or more cannula passages being adapted for insertion of the cannula through a selected cannula passage and into a respective vessel, and for withdrawal of the cannula from the selected cannula passage and respective vessel, and a sealing mechanism in each cannula passage for sealing against leakage of gas therepast when the cannula is inserted into or withdrawn from the selected cannula passage, wherein said sealing mechanism comprises a valve movable between a closed position for closing the cannula passage and an open position permitting movement of the cannula past the valve, and a seal in the passage sealingly engageable with the cannula when the valve is in its open position.
Abstract:
Methodologies for the synthesis, screening and characterisation of organometallic compounds and catalysts (eg homogenous catalysts), including combinatorial synthesis, screening and characterisation of libraries of supported and unsupported organometallic compounds and catalysts (eg homogenous catalysts). The methods can be applied to the preparation and screening of large numbers of organometallic compounds which can be used not only as catalysts (eg homogeneous catalysts), but also as additives and therapeutic agents.
Abstract:
Metal complexes comprising certain polydentate heteroatom containing ligands, catalysts, and coordination polymerization processes employing the same are suitably employed to prepare polymers having desirable physical properties.

Abstract:
The present invention relates, inter alia, to methodologies for the synthesis, screening and characterization of organometallic compounds and catalysts (e.g. homogeneous catalysts). The methods of the present invention provide for the combinatorial synthesis, screening and characterization of libraries of supported and unsupported organometallic compounds and catalysts (e.g. homogeneous catalysts). The methods of the present invention can be applied to the preparation and screening of large numbers of organometallic compounds which can be used not only as catalysts (homogeneous catalysts), but also as additives and therapeutic agents.
Abstract:
A method of preparing and delivering a slurry into a series of vessels in a reactor, said method comprising: (1) mixing a particulate solid material and a liquid dispersing medium and agitating the mixture to form a substantially homogeneous first slurry in which said particulate solid material is suspended in the liquid; (2) aspirating said first slurry into a cannula carried by a robot system while the slurry is substantially homogeneous; (3) operating the robot system to insert the cannula into the reactor;(4) delivering the slurry from the cannula into the vessel while the cannula is in said reactor; and (5) repeating (2)-(4) for a second vessel with said first slurry or repeating (2)-(4) for a second vessel with a second slurry.
