Wurtz reactions feature the dehalogenated coupling of alkyl halides. In comparison to their widely investigated counterparts, Ullmann reactions, Wurtz reactions have however been scarcely explored on surfaces. Herein, by combining high-resolution STM imaging and DFT calculations, we have systematically investigated Wurtz reactions on three chemically different metal surfaces including Cu(110), ...

Models for chemical reaction kinetics typically assume well-mixed conditions, in which chemical compositions change in time but are uniform in space. In contrast, many biological and microfluidic systems of interest involve non-uniform flows where gradients in flow velocity dynamically alter the effective reaction volume. Here, we present a theoretical framework for characterizing multi-step re...

A mathematical framework for the quantitative description of site density dependence catalytic data (activity and selectivity) was developed considering that changes in electrostatic contribution to Gibbs energy an elementary reaction on acid sites zeolites depend proximity these sites. For two-step sequence with most abundant surface intermediate, expression turnover frequency explicitly conta...

abstract phosphate is an essential element for plants, animals, and human. mobility and availability of phosphate in the natural systems is controlled by the adsorption-desorption and dissolution-precipitation reactions. iron (hydr)oxides including goethite play an important role in phosphate adsorption reactions in soil. surface area, crystallinity, and morphology of iron (hydr)oxides are the ...
