Mechanisms of the Water–Gas Shift Reaction Catalyzed by Carbonyl Complexes Mo(CO)6 and Mo2(CO)10: A Density Functional Theory Study
Four different mechanistic pathways for Mo(CO)6 and a reaction mechanism for the binuclear species Mo2(CO)10 catalyzed water–gas shift reaction (WGSR) have been analyzed using density functional method. It turned...

Density Functional Study of Catalytic Activity of Cu12TM for Water Gas Shift Reaction
Based on density functional theory calculations, we have systematically studied the WGS reaction on various nanosized Cu12TM of Co, Ni, Cu (from the 3d row), Rh, Pd, Ag (from the 4d row), Ir, Pt, Au (from the 5d ...
