How Do We Measure Catalytic Activity?

Various techniques are employed to measure catalytic activity:
Turnover Frequency (TOF): This measures the number of substrate molecules converted per catalyst site per unit time. It provides insights into the efficiency of the catalyst.
Turnover Number (TON): This indicates the total number of reactions a single catalyst site can facilitate before deactivation.
Reaction Rate: The rate at which reactants are converted to products, often measured using techniques like gas chromatography or mass spectrometry.
