505 0 $aIntroduction to thermodynamic (energy-dependent) and mechanical (time-dependent) processes : What are they and how are they manifested in chemistry and catalysis? / Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Heterogeneous, homogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis ; A shared terminology and conceptual platform ; The alternative of time-dependence in catalysis / Gerhard F. Swiegers -- A conceptual description of energy-dependent ("Thermodynamic") and time-dependent ("Mechanical") processes in chemistry and catalysis / Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Time-dependence in heterogeneous catalysis ; Sabatier's principle describes two independent catalytic realms: time-dependent ("Mechanical") catalysis and energy-dependent ("Thermodynamic") catalysis / Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Time-dependence in homogeneous catalysis. 1. Many enzymes display the hallmarks of time-dependent ("Mechanical") catalysts ; Nonbiological homogeneous catalysts are typically energy-dependent ("Thermodynamic") catalysts / Robin Brimblecombe, Jun Chen, Junhua Huang, Ulrich T. Mueller-Westerhoff, and Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Time-dependence in homogeneous catalysis. 2. The general actions of time-dependent ("Mechanical") and energy-dependent ("Thermodynamic") catalysts / Robin Brimblecombe, Jun Chen, Junhua Huang, Ulrich T. Mueller-Westerhoff, and Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Unifying the many theories of enzymatic catalysis ; Theories of enzymatic catalysis fall into two camps: energy-dependent ("Thermodynamic") and time-dependent ("Mechanical") catalysis / Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Synergy in heterogeneous, homogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis ; The "Ideal" catalyst / Gerhard F. Swiegers -- A conceptual unification of heterogeneous, homogeneous, and enzymatic catalysis / Gerhard F. Swiegers -- The rational design of time-dependent ("Mechanical") homogeneous catalysts ; A literature survey of multi-centered homogeneous catalysis / Junhua Huang, and Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Time-dependent ("Mechanical") nonbiological catalysis. 1. A fully-functional mimic of the water-oxidizing center (WOC) in photosystem II (PSII) / Robin Brimblecombe, G. Charles Dismukes, Greg A. Felton, Leone Spiccia, and Gerhard F. Swiegers -- Time-dependent ("Mechanical") nonbiological catalysis. 2. Highly efficient, "Biomimetic" hydrogen-generating electrocatalysts / Jun Chen, Junhua Huang, Gerhard F. Swiegers, Chee O. Too, and Gordon G. Wallace -- Time-dependent ("Mechanical") nonbiological catalysis. 3. A readily prepared, convergent, oxygen-reduction electrocatalyst / Jun Chen, Gerhard F. Swiegers, Gordon G. Wallace, and Weimin Zhang -- Appendix A. Why is saturation not observed in catalysts that display conventional kinetics -- Appendix B. Graphical illustration of the processes involved in the saturation of molecular catalysts.
