Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the structural implications of the vibrational
spectroscopic results from the adsorption of ethene and the higher alkenes on different …

DFT-GGA periodic slab calculations were used to examine the chemisorption,
hydrogenation, and dehydrogenation of ethylene on pseudomorphic monolayers of Pd (111) …

Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), an important chemical intermediate in industry, is produced
by the well-established commercial process of acetoxylation of ethylene with Pd–Au/SiO2 …

Aldehydes have been proposed as important intermediates during alcohol synthesis on
supported transition metal catalysts. To develop insights into higher oxygenate syntheses …

The adsorption of trans-2-pentene, cis-2-pentene, and 1-pentene on Pd (111) and Pd/Al2O3
model catalysts has been studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Each …

Adsorption and co-adsorption of ethene (C2H4, C2D4) and hydrogen (D2) on Pd particles
deposited on a thin alumina film were studied by temperature-programmed desorption …

Pd catalysts with varying particle size supported on a high-surface-area (600 m2/g) SiO2
were prepared by wet impregnation. The kinetics of vinyl acetate (VA) synthesis at …

The reactions of a range of unsaturated hydrocarbons and oxygenated organic molecules
with pure Pd surfaces can result in the carbidisation of the bulk of the metal, even though Pd …

The adsorption and kinetics of conversion of cis-2-butene with deuterium on model
supported Pd catalyst (Pd/Fe 3O 4/Pt (111)) were characterized by reflection− absorption …

DFT-GGA periodic slab calculations are used to examine ethylene dehydrogenation paths
over Pd (111). The most favorable adsorption modes along with their corresponding binding …
