Several parameters are assessed to determine catalyst performance:
Activity: The ability of the catalyst to increase the rate of the reaction. Selectivity: The catalyst's ability to direct the reaction to produce a specific product. Stability: The catalyst's resistance to deactivation over time. Turnover Frequency (TOF): The number of reaction cycles a catalyst can perform per unit time. Turnover Number (TON): The total number of reactions a single catalyst molecule can facilitate before becoming inactive.
