摘要：

Data from various previously reported works in the fields of surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, and organometallic chemistry are cited to serve as a foundation for the development of a hypothesis to explain the interrelation of these three areas of study. The simplest possible interface between the three areas is illustrated, and this cited system provides a testing ground for molecular theories of catalysis. It is concluded that all three fields have a common denominator in the reacting bonded species which can be denoted as M-OF where M = transition metal and OF = organic fragment. (BLM)
