Heterogeneous catalysis a pasture important industrially and scientifically is increasingly seeking and refining strategies to render it more predictable. The main issue is due to the nature and the population of catalytically active sites. Their number is basically low to very low, their acid strengths or redox properties are not homogeneous, and the material may display correlated yet inactive sites on the same material. In many heterogeneous catalysts, the discovery of a structure-activity relationship is at best challenging. One possible solution is to generate single-site catalysts in which most, if not all, of the sites are structurally identical. Within this context and using the right tools, the catalyst structure can be modified and well explained, to reach a molecular understanding. It is then feasible to understand the structure-activity relationship and to develop predictable heterogeneous catalysis. Single-site well-defined heterogeneous catalysts can be prepared using concepts and tools of surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC). This approach operates by retaliate organometallic compounds with surfaces of highly divided oxides (or of metal nanoparticles). This strategy has a solid track record to reveal the structure-activity relationship to the extent that it is becoming now quite predictable. Almost all elements of the periodical table have been grafted on surfaces of oxides (from simple oxides such as silica or alumina to more sophisticated materials regarding composition or porosity). Considering catalytic hydrocarbon transformations, heterogeneous catalysis outcome may now be predicted based on existing mechanistic proposition and the rules of molecular chemistry (organometallic, organic) associated with some concepts of surface sciences.
