The efficacy of a catalyst can be evaluated based on several parameters:
Activity: The rate at which a catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction. Selectivity: The ability of a catalyst to direct a reaction to yield a specific product. Stability: The durability of a catalyst under reaction conditions over time. Turnover number (TON): The number of times a catalyst can participate in a reaction before becoming inactive. Turnover frequency (TOF): The number of catalytic cycles per unit time.
