  • Process and apparatus for the isolation of pure, or substantially pure, organometallic compounds
    Patent number: 7282119
    Abstract: A process and apparatus to enable the continuous isolation of an organometallic compound, such as trimethylindium from a liquid feedstock. The liquid feedstock is delivered to a distillation column having two heating zones to effect dissociation of the feed stock thereby liberating the organometallic compound, which is collected as a vapor from the top of the column.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2001
    Date of Patent: October 16, 2007
    Assignee: Sigma-Aldrich Co.

  • Process and apparatus for production of organometallic compounds
    Patent number: 6495707
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for the continuous production of organometallic compounds from a metal precursor and an alkylating agent. The reactants are delivered separately to a reaction centre (26) in a distillation column (2) wherein the reaction is maintained at a predetermined temperature to allow collection of the vaporised organometallic compound from the top of the column and removal of the waste products from the bottom of the column.
