A colour is worth a thousand spectra

Scientists from Germany have developed a quick and low-cost screening method for photocatalytic reactions based on a simple change of colour.

In a recent study in Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, Burkhard König and a colleague from the University of Regensburg have developed a simple colorimetric method to analyse the outcome of photocatalytic reactions. An organic dye changes colour if a reaction works and can even indicate how much of the starting materials has been consumed.

11th international Congress on Catalysis and Fine Chemicals (CAFC-11)

11th international Congress on Catalysis and Fine Chemicals (CAFC-11)

5th – 8th September 2016

Lyon, France


The congress is devoted to the application of any type of catalysts -homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic; whatever are involved metals, organometallic complexes, organic species, or even acids and bases, to the synthesis of fine chemicals, with special emphasis on selectivity issues.

The aim is to bring together researchers from both academia and industry working in this area to share their expertise as a way to open new collaborations helping to solve forthcoming problems in the chemical industry. Today’s research in the field of Applied Catalysis must also involve eco-efficient methodologies that could be addressed by chemical engineering (multicomponent reactions, multiphase or flow reactors, multifunctional reactors…) as well as implementing more sustainable synthetic methods for fine chemistry based on catalytic transformation of bio-based substances.

Confirmed plenary Lecturers
