We are doing polymerization reactions with Salen Mn and Zn diketiminate complexes, working on reaction kinetics.

TON denotes how many maximum molecules of substrate can be converted into product per catalytic site of a given catalyst under defined conditions.
TOF is a measures of specific activity of a catalytic center of a given catalyst by the number of molecular reactions or catalytic cycles occurring at the centre per unit time. In other word, it is a number of revolutions of the catalytic cycle per unit time
TOF = (Number of molecules reacted)/ (Number of sites) x (time)
In order to measure active sites of the acid or base catalyst, chemisorption studies by TPD analysis can be used. You may refer following interesting papers:
