摘要：

A bimolecular synthetic reaction (imine synthesis) was performed compartmentalized in micrometer-diameter emulsion droplets. The apparent equilibrium constant (K-eq) and apparent forward rate constant (k(1)) were both inversely proportional to the droplet radius. The results are explained by a noncatalytic reaction-adsorption model in which reactants adsorb to the droplet interface with relatively low binding energies of a few k(B)T, react and diffuse back to the bulk. Reaction thermodynamics is therefore modified by compartmentalization at the mesoscale-without confinement on the molecular scale-leading to a universal mechanism for improving unfavorable reactions.
