Abstract
According to the degree of participation of the catalyst parameters in the internal reaction coordinate, one can characterize different catalytic processes. The acidcatalyzed hydrogenation of ethylene, the Friedel-Crafts reaction and the charge transfer processes catalyzed by external electric fields have been selected as examples ranging from a large to a small intervention of the catalyst in the internal reaction coordinate. In the extremum case of an external perturbation, such as that introduced by an electric field, the perturbation belongs also to a correct representation of the reaction coordinate, which cannot be defined exclusively in terms of internal parameters of the chemical system. This new concept opens the possibility of catalyzing a reaction without any catalyst.
