On Kinetic Constraints That Catalysis Imposes on Elementary Processes

Résumé

Catalysis, the acceleration of product formation by a substance that is left unchanged, typically results from multiple elementary processes, including diffusion of the reactants toward the catalyst, chemical steps, and release of the products. While efforts to design catalysts are often focused on accelerating the chemical reaction on the catalyst, catalysis is a global property of the catalytic cycle that involves all processes. These are controlled by both intrinsic parameters such as the composition and shape of the catalyst and extrinsic parameters such as the concentration of the chemical species at play. We examine here the conditions that catalysis imposes on the different steps of a reaction cycle and the respective role of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the system on the emergence of catalysis by using an approach based on first-passage times. We illustrate this approach for various decompositions of a catalytic cycle into elementary steps, including non-Markovian decompositions, which are useful when the presence and nature of intermediate states are a priori unknown. Our examples cover different types of reactions and clarify the constraints on elementary steps and the impact of species concentrations on catalysis.
