Inorganic Chemistry I
Heterogeneous catalysis is a process in which the catalyst exists in a different phase than the reactants, typically solid catalysts facilitating reactions between gaseous or liquid reactants. This type of catalysis allows for easy separation of the catalyst from the products and often leads to improved reaction rates and selectivity. The unique interaction between the different phases plays a crucial role in many industrial applications, especially involving organometallic catalysts.
