Abstract
In the past, rate constants were extracted from rate equations obtained by fitting kinetic data. In the future, they will be calculated by computation al chemistry or measured by surface science techniques. They will be used f or the start-up of a microkinetic analysis in a combinatorial iteration for the development of optimized catalysts.
