TL;DR: This article provides an extension to the Covalent Bond Classification (CBC) method by categorizing 3c-2e interactions according to whether (i) the two electrons are provided by one or by two atoms and (ii) the central bridging atom provides two, one, or zero electrons.

TL;DR: This catalyst has 14 times higher activity than the commercial benchmark catalyst (10 % w/w Pd on Vulcan) and can significantly influence the activity of a noble metal for formic acid oxidation.
Abstract: A remarkable promotion: Functional groups added onto single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can significantly influence the activity of a noble metal for formic acid oxidation. Phenolate groups on SWNTs under alkaline conditions can double the activity of 20 % w/w Pd compared to unmodified SWNTs. This catalyst has 14 times higher activity than the commercial benchmark catalyst (10 % w/w Pd on Vulcan).
