This paper discusses transition metal intermetallic compounds, in the context of the reactivity and physical properties expected for materials produced via solid-solid reactions at the metal catalyst oxide-support interface. It is shown that several observable and proposed features of the so called Strong Metal-Support Interaction (SMSI) — chemisorption activity, phase segregation, and encapsulation — follow naturally from the chemistry of these materials. Both literature precedent and experimental data are presented to support the close relationship suggested above. 

It would not be appropriate here to discuss the many points at issue in the intense international debate which has been going on for some time in this area. The comments of the discussion panel at the international conference on magnetism in Kyoto, ICM 82, provide a convenient summary (Kanamori 1983) and a book dedicated to itinerant magnetism is now available (CapeUmann 1987). We shall therefore give only a brief outline of the expectations of those theories which are currently used by the majority of experimentalists in attempting to explain the observed ferromagnetic behaviour of the transition metal intermetallic compounds. 

In the compilation which follows some attempt has been made to indicate the extent to which individual transition metal intermetallic compounds conform to the expectations of the theoretical work described above.
