Stopped-flow Benchtop NMR
A journal cover for Reaction Chemistry & Engineering
An editorial 3D cover was created based on the content of a published paper by Hein Lab: Quantitative and convenient real-time reaction monitoring using stopped-flow benchtop NMR. The cover has been accepted to be published on the 2022 May issue.
This research paper highlights an innovative approach that introduce a stopped-flow loop in a continuous reaction to detect and take real-time measurements of gaseous chemicals, which were hard to be measured accurately in the past.
Based on the content of the paper, I designed the two important equipments to be in the centre point of the images: bench-top NMR and six-port valve. An infinity loop was created to compare the new stopped-flow method to the traditional continuous-flow approach. The molecules depicted are sulfuryl fluoride, a toxic gas produced and detected by the stopped-flow method.
