Abstract
THREE conditions should be fulfilled in any investigation of the relation between catalytic activity and electron distribution in a catalyst. There must be no isolation of the electrons at the surface from those in the bulk; any alteration of the electron distribution must be introduced either at the surface where the reaction occurs or very close to it, but not in the bulk; and all other parameters of the catalyst should remain constant.
