The description of catalysts in terms of the rates of reactions they promote is now feasible. Several procedures have been published in the literature for determining selectivity of hydrogenation catalysts, particularly as ratios of reaction rates. The present contribution reviews these procedures, tests their performance with sample data, and compares their merits.
