Catalysts and Intermediates

Postby Michael Iter 2F » Tue Mar 16, 2021 4:31 am

Is it possible for a substance to act as both a catalyst and an intermediate? For example, could there maybe be a molecule that appears as an intermediate and then catalyzes the subsequent steps of the reaction?

Yes that is possible.
