Density-Functional Theoretical Study on the Role of Lewis and Brønsted Acid Sites on CeO2(110) Surfaces for Nitrile Hydration

Hydration of cyanopyridine on CeO 2 (110) surfaces was studied using periodic DFT+U calculations. One of two adsorption modes of 2-cyanopyridine occurs with two-point interaction which causes substrate specificity. A catalytic cycle for the hydration of 2-cyanopyridine was proposed. Cooperativity of...

Zusammenfassung:Hydration of cyanopyridine on CeO 2 (110) surfaces was studied using periodic DFT+U calculations. One of two adsorption modes of 2-cyanopyridine occurs with two-point interaction which causes substrate specificity. A catalytic cycle for the hydration of 2-cyanopyridine was proposed. Cooperativity of Lewis and Brønsted acid sites was found to stabilize the intermediates for the hydration.
