Why is Time Resolved Crystallography Important in Catalysis?
Catalysis involves complex, time-dependent interactions between reactants, intermediates, and catalysts. Traditional crystallography captures only static images, which fall short in elucidating the transient states crucial for understanding catalytic mechanisms. TRX bridges this gap by enabling the observation of these transient states, thereby offering insights into reaction pathways, intermediate species, and the role of the catalyst at different stages.
