Experimental Methods Metrics are typically measured using a combination of experimental techniques and analytical methods. For example, to determine TOF and TON, one would need to quantify the amount of product formed and the number of active sites. Techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and spectroscopy are commonly used for product analysis.
Computational Methods Computational chemistry and molecular modeling can also be used to predict and optimize catalytic metrics. These methods can provide insights into reaction mechanisms and help in designing more efficient catalysts.
