| Description | Coating an nmr tube with a highly active photocatalyst has enabled us to study a wide range of photocatalytic reactions both in and ex situ. |
| Exploitation Route | The rapid screening process developed in our project is likely to transform screening procedures for photocatalysed organic synthetic reactions as well as mechanistic studies of such. |
| Sectors | Chemicals |
| Description | Our work has contributed significantly to the use of photocatalysis as a tool for promoting photocatalytic processes. In particular, the use of a photocatalyst-coated nmr tube has helped speed up the assessment time and enabled rapid reaction screening. |
