Application of electron spin resonance to catalysis: recent studies

摘要

It is basically important for catalytic reactionmechanisms to study the structure of catalytically active sites aswell as static and dynamic nature of adsorbed molecules. Electronspin resonance can provide useful experimental information aboutchemical bonding between the adsorbed molecules and active sites,rotational and transnational diffusion of paramagnetic speciessupported on catalysts. In this article, recent ESR studies oncatalysis are reviewed.
