Mechanism and kinetics of CO hydrogenation on metals

Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

An antibatic relation has been established between the catalytic activities r of metals in relation to hydrogenation of CO and the selectivity in relation to methane\(S_{CH_4 } \). A mechanism is proposed for the reaction which makes it possible to interpret the observed kinetic relationships, the sequences of activities and selectivities, and also the relation between r and\(S_{CH_4 } \).
