Analysis of Differential Selectivity Using Phase Trajectories of Catalytic Reactions: New Aspects and Applications

A review of examples of the use of phase trajectories of catalytic reactions is presented, which make it possible to evaluate changes in differential selectivity as a tool for determining catalytically active compounds, the pathways of their transformation in the catalytic process, and regular features of elementary step with their participation. The prospects for the studies of complex reactions based on the measurements of differential selectivity using phase trajectories are discussed.
