How Do Solvents Affect Catalyst Solubility and Distribution?
Solvents play a crucial role in determining the solubility and distribution of catalysts. Homogeneous catalysis often requires the catalyst to be dissolved in the solvent, making solvent choice critical. In heterogeneous catalysis, solvent properties can influence the distribution of reactants on the catalyst surface. For example, polar solvents might promote better dispersion of polar reactants on a catalyst surface.
