EPR is widely used in various catalytic studies, including:
Identification of Active Sites: EPR can help identify and characterize the active sites in heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts, such as metal centers in zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Mechanistic Studies: By monitoring changes in the EPR signal during a reaction, researchers can gain insights into the mechanism of catalytic processes and identify reaction intermediates. Characterization of Surface Species: EPR can be used to study surface-adsorbed species and their interactions with the catalyst, providing valuable information about surface chemistry and adsorption processes.
