Selective Hydrogenation over Supported Metal Catalysts: From Nanoparticles to Single Atoms

TL;DR: The key factors affecting the catalytic activity/selectivity, in particular, the geometric and electronic structure of the active sites, are discussed with the aim to extract fundamental principles for the development of efficient and selective catalysts in hydrogenation as well as other transformations.

Density‐functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical exchange correlation functional with local spin density, gradient, and exact exchange terms was proposed. But this functional performed significantly better than previous functionals with gradient corrections only, and fits experimental atomization energies with an impressively small average absolute deviation of 2.4 kcal/mol.

Fully optimized contracted Gaussian basis sets of triple zeta valence quality for atoms Li to Kr

TL;DR: In this article, a triple zeta valence (TZV) basis set is presented for Li to Kr. The TZV bases are characterized by typically including a single contraction to describe inner shells and three basis functions for valence shells.

Dehydrogenation and oxydehydrogenation of paraffins to olefins

TL;DR: The use of carbon dioxide as an oxidant for ethane conversion to ethylene has been investigated as a potential way to reduce the negative impact of dangerous oxidant-paraffin mixtures and to achieve higher selectivity as mentioned in this paper.
