The measurement of catalytic efficacy typically involves several key metrics:
Turnover Frequency (TOF): This represents the number of substrate molecules converted per catalyst site per unit time. Turnover Number (TON): This denotes the total number of substrate molecules a single catalyst site can convert before becoming inactivated. Selectivity: The ability of the catalyst to direct the reaction to yield a specific product over others. Stability: How well the catalyst maintains its activity over multiple cycles or extended periods.
