Linear Christiansen sequence

In Figure 6.36 K[ is the dissociation constant for the El complex. An equation for the linear Christiansen sequence with an extra cycle was presented before (equation 5.109) and scheme 5.110 for a similar case... 

If there are more than two steps and the mechanism of a heterogeneous catalytic reaction follows the linear Christiansen sequences, then the general kinetic expressions are given by eq. (5.94-5.95). Some particular cases of Christiansen sequences with 3, 4, 6 and 8 steps were presented for homogeneous catalysis by metal complexes, e.g., equations (5.72, 5.76, 5.84) and (5.88) respectively. It should be stressed that in the case of heterogeneous catalysis equations for the reaction rates are exactly the same, which is not surprising as similar kinetic steps describe the reaction mechanisms.
