abstract = {Micrometer-sized objects are widely known to exhibit
chemically driven motility in systems away from equilibrium.
Experimental observation of reaction-induced motility or
enhancement in diffusivity at the much shorter length scale
of small molecules is, however, still a matter of debate.
Here, we investigate the molecular diffusivity of reactants,
catalyst, and product of a model reaction, the
copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction,
and develop new NMR diffusion approaches that allow the
probing of reaction-induced diffusion enhancement in
nanosized molecular systems with higher accuracy than the
state of the art. Following two different approaches that
enable the accounting of time-dependent concentration
changes during NMR experiments, we closely monitored the
diffusion coefficient of reaction components during the
reaction. The reaction components showed distinct changes in
the diffusivity: while the two reactants underwent a
time-dependent decrease in their diffusivity, the diffusion
coefficient of the product gradually increased and the
catalyst showed only slight diffusion enhancement within the
range expected for reaction-induced sample heating. The
decrease in diffusion coefficient of the alkyne, one of the
two reactants of click reaction, was not reproduced during
its copper coordination when the second reactant, azide, was
absent. Our results do not support the catalysis-induced
diffusion enhancement of the components of the click
reaction and, instead, point to the role of a relatively
large intermediate species within the reaction cycle with
diffusivity lower than that of both the reactants and
product molecule.},
