Popis: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the experimental aspects of multiplicity of steady states as well as periodic activity of open chemical reacting systems “catalyst-gas.” In the past two decades, a great number of theoretical papers were published on the subject that indicated a number of “pathological” phenomena to be expected in chemically reacting systems. The next step toward a deeper understanding of all these phenomena is possible only through research programs that try to prove these effects on an experimental way. The chapter focuses on experimental aspects of multiplicity and periodic activity. While the trend of the research activity in the area of multiplicity and periodic activity in the 1960s has been focused on theoretical investigation, the recent development has indicated an increase of experimental information. However, the number of experimental papers in comparison with the theoretical studies is still low and the need for additional laboratory studies is obvious.
