Abstract:
A method of characterizing materials comprising the steps of: providing a substrate; synthesizing an array of materials on said substrate; providing at least one reactant gas wherein said reactant gas is in contact with said array of materials; activating at least one of said materials on said array with a heating source; and periodically monitoring an infrared emission from said activated material with an infrared camera, wherein said infrared camera outputs a series of signals corresponding to an emission intensity varying with time of said activated material.

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:
Methods and apparatus for screening diverse arrays of materials are provided. In particular, techniques are provided for rapidly characterizing compounds in combinatorial arrays of materials for discovering and/or optimizing new materials with specific desired properties. According to one aspect, a scanning mass spectrometer is used which includes an ionization chamber and a collector that outputs an electrical signal responsive to the quantity of gas ions contacting the collector surface. A conduit system selectively withdraws samples from the array of materials, passing the samples into the ionization chamber. In a specific embodiment, reactants are passed through the conduit system to the selected regions of interest on the substrate. Means are provided to selectively heat regions on the substrate.
