There are several methods to perform transient kinetic studies. Some of the most commonly used techniques include:
1. Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP): This involves pulsing reactants over a catalyst and analyzing the products as a function of time. 2. Rapid Quenching: Here, the reaction is rapidly cooled or quenched to "freeze" intermediate states for analysis. 3. Spectroscopic Methods: Techniques like UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy can be used to monitor transient species in real-time.
