THE FUZZY INTERFACE BETWEEN SURFACE CHEMISTRY, HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS, AND ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY

Data from various previously reported works in the fields of surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, and organometallic chemistry are cited to serve as a foundation for the development of a hypothesis to explain the interrelation of these three areas of study. The simplest possible interface between the three areas is illustrated, and this cited system provides a testing ground for molecular theories of catalysis. It is concluded that all three fields have a common denominator in the reacting bonded species which can be denoted as M-OF where M = transition metal and OF = organic fragment. (BLM)
