Adsorbates on a surface experience lateral interactions that result in a distribution of adsorption energies. The adsorbate–adsorbate interactions are known to affect the kinetics of surface reactions
The new complexes [MoBr(η3-C3H5)(CO)2(L)2] (C1) and [MX2(CO)3(L)2] (M = Mo(II), X = I (C2); M = Mo(II), X = Br (C3); M = W(II), X = I (C4); M = W(II), X = Br (C5)) were synthesized by reaction o
The selective hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons is a critical process in industrial catalysis. Hydrogenating linear alkenes while avoiding the adsorption or hydrogenation of aromatics is impor
Gold catalysts are best known for their selectivity in oxidation reactions, however, there is a promising future for gold in selective hydrogenations. Herein, the hydrogenation of several aldehydes an
