The dynamic Monte Carlo method has been used to simulate the 2 A + B 2 → 2 AB reaction catalyzed by a reconstructing substrate. Oscillatory behavior and spatio‐temporal is studied as a function of grid size. Spatio‐temporal pattern formation has been simulated in various forms: cellular patterns, target patterns, rotating spirals, and turbulent patterns. Cellular patterns are a manifestation of a local synchronization mechanism in which all reaction fronts periodically extinguish each other. This illustrates that dynamic Monte Carlo simulations form a promising technique and can be used to predict macroscopic kinetic phenomena on a molecular basis.
