1. An artificial hybrid homogeneous-heterogeneous catalyst for the reaction and/or production of small gaseous molecules, comprising:
- a support substrate;
first catalytic groups; and
second catalytic groups,wherein said first catalytic groups and said second catalytic groups may be the same or different, wherein at least some of either of said first catalytic groups and second catalytic groups is supported by the support substrate;
wherein said first catalytic groups and said second catalytic groups are present in a catalytically effective amount when arranged so that at least some of the first catalytic groups are located proximate and oriented relative to the second catalytic groups so that said first and second catalytic groups together provide a catalytic effect for the reaction and/or production of small gaseous molecules,wherein the first catalytic groups are not covalently bound to the second catalytic groups within the same molecule;
wherein the first catalytic groups and the second catalytic groups do not together provide any catalytic effect for the reaction and/or production of small gaseous molecules when dispersed in a homogenous solution; and
wherein either the product and/or the reactant are a small gaseous molecule.

Abstract
A hybrid homogeneous-heterogeneous catalyst containing catalytic groups, wherein the catalytic activity of the catalyst is largely provided as a result of the interaction of catalytic groups in a suitable proximity and disposition to other catalytic groups, the proximity and disposition resulting from statistical considerations, wherein an example of such catalyst is a polypyrrole-ferrocene monosulfate represented by Formula IV.
