Abstract
A breaking of translational symmetry in time generates ‘time crystal’, wherein the structural units get repeated against both time and space simultaneously to create a clocking topology. This chapter will retrospect the patterns and other physical properties of various single or nested catalytic cycles and present their way of transformation into time crystals. Considering each individual chemical reaction inside a catalytic reaction cycle as a single event, we can connect the events by time-consuming intermediate states to convert a catalytic cycle into a time crystal. Finally, a newly conceptualized time crystal engineering approach is employed here to selectively promote one of the certain reaction products from a catalytic reaction cycle.
