Catalysis by Transition Metals

Investigating the mechanisms of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do heterogeneous catalysts use adsorption to lower activation energy?
  2. 2Why are transition metals particularly effective at acting as intermediates in redox cycles?
  3. 3How does autocatalysis change the rate profile of a chemical reaction over time?
