The Invention
UW-Madison researchers have developed an approach capable of identifying numerous (200+) inorganic autocatalytic cycles. Their method combined a comproportionation reaction with an auxiliary oxidation or reduction reaction (coined Comproportionation-based Autocatalytic Cycle or CompAC). When combined, these distinct sets of chemical reactions stoichiometrically form an autocatalytic cycle of a compound at an intermediate redox state (figure linked below). The result is the identification of reactions which consume a chemical species to generate more autocatalysts.
