Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysis was and remains one of the most empirical chemical endeavors. Catalyst development is still a domain of predominantly Edisonian research, a matter of trial-and-error efforts, intuitive assessments, and a great deal of luck. The reason for this is that the course of a catalytic reaction is determined by many factors, both thermo-dynamic and kinetic, and the composition and structure of a catalyst may be crucial as well. In this complex chain of events, there is one link that is common and critical for all the variety of catalytic processes. This link is chemisorption. Whatever the mechanism of a heterogeneous catalytic reaction may be, it includes chemisorption, transformations of chemi-sorbed species (dissociation, recombination, isomerization, etc.) and, finally, their desorption.1–3 Thus, understanding heterogeneous catalysis is impossible without the knowledge of chemisorption patterns and, ultimately, the reaction energy profiles. What is the state of affairs in these quarters?
