How is the Efficiency of Catalytic Outputs Measured?
The efficiency of catalytic outputs is commonly assessed through metrics such as turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF). TON indicates the number of substrate molecules converted per catalyst molecule before it becomes inactive, while TOF measures the number of substrate molecules converted per unit time. High TON and TOF are indicative of a highly efficient catalyst. Additionally, conversion rate and selectivity are crucial metrics.
