Abstract

Periodic trends of catalytic properties of sulfide, oxide and metal based catalysts are proposed to result not only from an electronic effect but also from a variation of the population of surface species. A simple model is used to show that the optimum heat of formation of the compound lead to an optimum surface density of species and thus to a maximum number of site possessing an adequate structure for the reaction considered to occur.
