“…The activation of iridium catalysts, prepared by impregnation, has been studied earlier [4,5], but since the mechanism of iridium catalyst preparation is different when done by ALD and impregnation, the behavior in activation may well differ too. The activation of Cr(acac) 3 has been studied earlier [8][9][10][11][12], but as the noble nature affects the preparation process [3], the behavior of iridium in activation can be expected to be different from that of chromium.…”
