Massively Parallel Entropy Based Pattern Recognition for System Identification in Catalytic Binuclear Elimination Reaction

Recently, it was found that the simultaneous use of both Rh4(CO)12 and HRe(CO)5 in the homogeneous catalytic hydroformylation of cyclopentene to cyclopentane carboxaldehyde, leads to a dramatic increase in rate of reaction. Two experimental designs were planned and two sets of in-situ spectroscopic experiments performed using FTIR. The first experimental design without organic substrate added, and the second was performed in n-hexane solvent at 278-303K and 0.2-8.0 MPa total pressure using CO and H2. A total of circa 4000 spectra were collected spectra on the interval 155
