In 1958, as I remember it, Fred Basolo and I, Arthur Adamson and Henry Taube, and H. R. Hunt came out with this mechanism basically, stressing slightly different features. Then Dr. Tobe joined the bandwagon with this mechanism in 1959, and the term solvent assisted dissociation was coined by Wallace and his group in Canada in 1961. That is the story as I see it at the present time... 

The catalytic oxidation of CO on iridium has not been as extensively studied as with palladium and platinum. However, as for these metals, both steady-state (40, 54, 124, 199-202) and nonsteady-state investigation (124, 200-203) have been carried out on both polycrystalline and single crystal surfaces. As the results are for the most part very similar to those obtained on palladium and platinum surfaces, only those results that shed additional light on the kinetics and mechanism basic to the reaction will be emphasized here.

Mechanisms direct measurement of chemical compounds that exhibit spectroscopic properties (1 A) and measurement of light originating from a chemical or a biological reaction in chemiluminescent or bioluminescent phenomena (IB) 2 optodes based on the interaction of indicators and labels with light, which are immobilized in a support and sensors that modify the intrinsic physical or chemical properties of a waveguide (refractive index, phase, etc.) as a result of the presence of the analyte (3A), a recognition element (35), an intermediate analyte (3C) or an indicator (3D)...

To obtain more meaningful results, it is necessary to examine the actual physical arrangement of the chromophore, including their index of refraction to account for surface reflectance, and calculate their absorption properties using quantum mechanics (basic physics). 

Mechanism. Basically, fretting is a form of adhesive or abrasive wear, where the normal load causes adhesion between asperities and oscillatory movement causes ruptures, resulting in wear debris. Most commonly, fretting is combined with corrosion, in which case the wear mode is known as fretting corrosion. For example, in the case of steel particles, the freshly worn nascent surfaces oxidize (corrode) to FejO, and the...

Due to its high efficiency and regioselectivity, the Wolff rearrangement was extensively studied and reviewed, with copper or silver being the most efficient metals for this transformation (121). Similar reactivity can be achieved via ultraviolet (UV) light, sonication, or microwave irradiation (122). A free carbene-based pathway was proposed as a general mechanism. Basic additives are usually required when silver is used as the catalyst Silver nanoclusters are known to form under such conditions, which may serve as the real catalyst (Fig. 24) (123,124).

On comparing H NMR spectra obtained for the reaction of para-H2 with X at different reaction times (fig. 10), it can be seen that the H2 signal starts as an enhanced negative value (due to the initial transfer from para-H2), and then reaches its thermal equilibrium value by a complex mechanism basically determined by the relaxation rates of the protons in the ruthenium complex. Clearly, the exchange rate of H2 over the triruthenium cluster should be faster than the relaxation rate of the hydride ligands, otherwise no memory of the intermediate state could have been revealed in the molecular hydrogen resonance.
