What are the Guidelines for Reporting Catalytic Activity?
Reporting catalytic activity involves specific parameters to ensure clarity and reproducibility:
Turnover Number (TON): The number of times a catalytic cycle is completed per active site. Turnover Frequency (TOF): The number of catalytic cycles per active site per unit time. Conversion: The percentage of reactant converted to product. Selectivity: The proportion of desired product formed relative to by-products. Yield: The amount of product obtained, usually given in grams or moles.
