International Classification:

C01B 35/08

US Classification:

423285

Abstract:

A method of preparing a boron-nitrogen compound includes combining an ammonium salt and an ionic compound in the absence of solvent to form a mixture. The ionic compound includes a cation and an anion. The anion is represented by the general formula B(R), wherein each Ris independently selected from the group of hydrogen, alkyl groups, aryl groups, and combinations thereof. The method also includes agitating the mixture in the absence of solvent to form a reaction product, and separating the boron-nitrogen compound from the reaction product.

Assignee:

Wildcat Discovery Technologies - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G01N 33/00

US Classification:

422 83

Abstract:

An apparatus for synthesis and assaying of materials is provided that significantly improves throughput efficiency by allowing for material synthesis and assaying in the same assembly while possessing the ability to reach higher pressures and higher temperatures than existing designs capable of synthesis and assaying in the same assembly. In addition, the apparatus provides for gas flow over the material sample, allowing for a number of materials to be synthesized within the apparatus by gas synthesis.
