01F00 Reactions in near and Supercritical Fluids I
OverviewPapers are solicited that address new experimental and theoretical investigations of reactions (or reactive processing) in supercritical fluids (SCF) or high-pressure media, including gas-expanded liquids. Some areas of interest are homogeneous catalytic reactions both organometallic or biocatalytic, heterogeneous catalysis, biphasic systems, innovative reaction/separation schemes which take advantage of the variable solvent power of SCFs, and continuous reactions in high-pressure media.
