Abstract

Surface science studies have aided the molecular formulation and the elucidation of the concepts of heterogeneous catalysis. These include the thermal activation of bond breaking, the unique, chemical activity of rough surfaces, the dynamic chemisorption - induced restructuring of surfaces and the coadsorption bond. The high catalytic activities of bimetallic catalysts and oxide- metal interfaces can be rationalized using these concepts. Complex model catalyst systems can be built by vapour deposition of the various ingredients on metal crystal surfaces.
