How is the NIST Chemistry WebBook Useful for Catalysis Research?
In the field of catalysis, understanding the properties of reactants, products, and catalysts is crucial. The NIST Chemistry WebBook provides detailed information on thermodynamic properties, reaction enthalpies, and spectral data, which are essential for designing and optimizing catalytic processes. Researchers can access data on heat capacities, enthalpies of formation, and vibrational frequencies, all of which play a significant role in understanding catalytic mechanisms.
