What Challenges are Associated with Analyzing Complex Spectra?
Analyzing complex spectra in catalysis comes with several challenges:
1. Overlapping Signals: The spectra often contain overlapping signals from different species, making it difficult to deconvolute and identify individual components. 2. Low Concentration of Intermediates: Intermediates in catalytic reactions are usually present in low concentrations, complicating their detection and analysis. 3. Dynamic Changes: Catalytic systems are dynamic, with continuous changes in the species involved. Capturing these changes in real-time requires advanced spectroscopic techniques.
