Possible Correlations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis

Possible Correlations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis 

Relationship between homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzyme catalysis as inferred from the experimental studies of hydrocarbon catalysis on platinum surfaces. 

We may then view the relationship between homogeneous, heterogeneous, and enzyme catalysis as depicted in Fig. 29. The two dominant features of heterogeneous metal catalysis, the importance of low coordination number sites to break chemical bonds and the structural properties of overlayers that control the path of more complex surface reactions, are the bridges between these fields. Future studies will verify how well these views are justified.
