This book is an excellent compilation of cutting-edge research in
heterogeneous catalysis and related disciplines - surface science,
organometallic catalysis, and enzymatic catalysis. In 23 chapters
by noted experts, the volume demonstrates varied approaches using
model systems and their successes in understanding aspects of
heterogeneous catalysis, both metal- and metal oxide-based
catalysis in extended single crystal and nanostructured catalytic
materials. To truly appreciate the astounding advances of modern
heterogeneous catalysis, let us first consider the subject from a
historical perspective. Heterogeneous catalysis had its beginnings
in England and France with the work of scientists such as Humphrey
Davy (1778-1829), Michael Faraday (1791-1867), and Paul Sabatier
(1854-1941). Sabatier postulated that surface compounds, si- lar to
those familiar in bulk to chemists, were the intermediate species
leading to catalytic products. Sabatier proposed, for example, that
NiH moieties on a Ni sur- 2 face were able to hydrogenate ethylene,
whereas NiH was not. In the USA, Irving Langmuir concluded just the
opposite, namely, that chemisorbed surface species are chemically
bound to surfaces and are unlike known molecules. These chemisorbed
species were the active participants in catalysis. The equilibrium
between gas-phase molecules and adsorbed chemisorbed species
(yielding an adsorption isotherm) produced a monolayer by simple
site-filling kinetics.
