Abstract
Abstract A critical examination of the use of linear free energy relationships in the study of the mechanism of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions is presented in the case of the ruthenium catalyzed hydrogenation of monoalkylbenzenes reported in the literature. It is concluded that the use of both electronic and steric substituent parameters leads to a quite different mechanistic interpretation as compared to the statements made before in the literature on the basis of just the electronic substituent parameter.
