Hi all
TON = (%conv) x (mol(substrat)) / mol (catalyst)
TOF = TON / time(h)

TON = turn over number = molar ratio of converted substrate to catalyst
TOF = turn over frequency = TON per hour
example: 10 mmols of substrate are converted to product using a catalyst loading of 0.2 mmols in 2 hours .
TON = 10/0.2 = 50
TOF = 50/2 h = 25 h(-1)

catalyst = 6x10 -3
[substrat]/[cat] = 2900
%conv = %60
They said TON = 1745, I could't calculate it.

Ok. Its the molar ratio of converted substrate to catalyst, to correct myself. In your example: 2900 is the ratio of substrate to catalyst. Only 60%
of the substrate are converted to product, i.e. TON is only 60% of the 2900.
2900 * 0.6 = 1740
