The title Spectroscopy in Catalysis is attractively compact but not quite precise. The book also introduces microscopy, diffraction and temperature programmed reaction methods, as these are important tools in the characterization of catalysts. As to applications, I have limited myself to supported metals, oxides, sulfides and metal single crystals. Zeolites, as well as techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance have been left out, mainly because the author has little personal experience with these subjects. Catalysis in the year 2000 would not be what it is without surface science. Hence, techniques that are applicable to study the surfaces of single crystals or metal foils used to model catalytic surfaces, have been included. 

A researcher in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, alongside the important studies of catalysts chemical properties (i.e., properties at a molecular level), inevitably encounters problems determining the catalyst structure at a supramolecular (textural) level. A powerful combination of physical and chemical methods (numerous variants x-ray diffraction (XRD), IR, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), XPS, EXAFS, ESR, Raman of Moessbauer spectroscopy, etc. and achievements of modem analytical chemistry) may be used to study the catalysts chemical and phase molecular structure. At the same time, characterizations of texture as a fairytale Cinderella fulfill the routine and very frequently senseless work, usually limited (obviously in our modem transcription) with electron microscopy, formal estimation of a surface area by a BET method, and eventually with porosimetry without any thorough insight.

For suitable substances the average life-time of the hydrated or unhydrated species can be deduced from the broadening of nuclear magnetic resonance lines. This has recently been applied to acetaldehyde (Evans et al., 1965 Ahrens and Strehlow, 1965) and to isobuty-raldehyde (Hine and Houston, 1965) the velocities deduced for catalysis by hydrogen ions are in fair agreement with those obtained by other methods.

To develop a unifying view of iron center catalysis, properties of the iron center in individual enzymes must be determined. Obviously, the definitive solution for the structure is atomic resolution of the active enzyme and postulated intermediates determined by diffraction or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Just as obviously, these methods are limited by enormous time, effort, and instrumentation requirements as well as by practical and theoretical considerations. This point is emphasized by the paucity of available protein structures. In addition to the strictly structural details of the iron center, chemical and physical properties are required and, in some cases, these results augment diffraction or NMR structural studies. Discussed below are a few of the more common processes by which this information is obtained. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a powerful and widely-used tool for investigating structure. Its utility is enhanced by the use of computational chemistry to aid in the interpretation. In this work we present an example of the use of calculated nuclear magnetic resonance parameters to help elucidate the role of alkoxyalkylsilanes in Ziegler-Natta catalysis. 

When 51V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used to follow the catalysis of trimethoxybenzene (tmb) bromination, the only vanadium species that were observed under conditions of 0.5 mM total vanadium(V) were oxodiper-oxovanadium(V) (V0(02)2 , -688 ppm), oxoperoxovanadium(V) (V0(02)+, -529 ppm), and cw-dioxovanadium(V) (-540 ppm). Within the experimental error of the integration, all of the vanadium was detected in the vanadium(V) oxidation state under turnover conditions, since the integrated signal intensity at various times throughout the reaction was equivalent to that of an equimolar solution of cis-V02+.

The process of molecular diffusion may be viewed conceptionally as a sequence of jumps with statistically varying jump lengths and residence times. Information about the mean jump length /(P and the mean residence time t, which might be of particular interest for a deeper understanding of the elementary steps of catalysis, may be provided by spectroscopic methods, in particular by quasielastic neutron scattering (see next Section) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Free 4-acetamido-4,5-dideoxy-D (or L)-xylose is a syrup, and its infrared spectrum shows negligibly small bands for the imino and carbonyl groups. The syrup consists of two components, present in about equal amounts, - that are chromatographically separable. They yield the same (2-benzyl-2-phenyl)hydrazone, and are interconvertible by acid catalysis. Their optical rotations and their nuclear magnetic resonance spectra show that they are anomeric forms - of 195. Their nuclear magnetic resonance spectra are differentiated by the positions of the signals for their H-1 protons (t 4.72 and 4.84). The spectrum of each anomer shows, on acidification, a rapid attainment of anomeric equilibrium. A...
