It seems like most of your experiments were done at steam saturation pressure - do you think that higher pressures would affect the reaction mechanisms?
Hi Ben, thanks for your great question! We haven't tested the pressure effect on this specific reaction, but we did test different pressures in other hydrothermal organic systems (e.g., ketones, carboxylic acids) and we find pressure has little effect on the reaction pathways and mechanisms.

Your results provide a very clear picture of what you're studying here! You mention that these dissolved metal reactions may provide some new insights into understanding reactions in hydrothermal systems- would you mind elaborating here on what kinds of processes we can understand better in this light?
Hi Garnet, thanks for your positive comment and great question! From my perspective, I think learning these reaction pathways and mechanisms would help us better understand and predict how organic molecules transform in hydrothermal systems, as well as how the surrounding minerals/metal species may control their reactivity and fate.

Sorry if I'm missing it, but could you tell me how long the experiments were conducted at 200C and 15 bar?
Hi Kirt, thanks for the question! These experiments were conducted in relatively short times, mostly within 4 hours due to the high reactivity of the alcohols.
