More evidence of geometry's role in catalytic action! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110929144628.htm
The discovery: the sizes and electronic properties of catalysts interact to affect how well a catalyst performs, and are not independent factors as was thought previously. Chemistry Professor Matt Sigman and doctoral student Kaid Harper, report their findings in the Sept. 30, 2011, issue of the journal Science. "It opens our eyes to how to design new catalysts that we wouldn't necessarily think about designing, for a broad range of reactions," Sigman says. "We're pretty excited." Fran
