What is Turnover Frequency (TOF) and Turnover Number (TON)?
Turnover Frequency (TOF) and Turnover Number (TON) are key metrics used to evaluate the performance of a catalyst. TOF is the number of catalytic cycles per unit time, while TON is the total number of reactant molecules converted by a single catalyst molecule before it becomes inactive. High TOF and TON values indicate a highly efficient catalyst.
