We have explored the dehydrogenation of methoxy on pristine and defective (111), (100), and (110) ceria surfaces with density functional methods. Methanol conversion is used as a probe reaction to understand structure sensitivity of the oxide catalysis.

Orbital Analysis

The present investigation deals with the study of the N–H bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) of the Y-substituted (NH2-C(=X)Y-R) and N-substituted ((R)(H)NC(=X)YH) carbamates (X, Y = O, S, Se; R = H, CH3, F, Cl, NH2), which have been evaluated using ab initio and density functional methods. The variations in N−H BDEs of these Y-substituted and N-substituted carbamates as the effect of substituent have been understood in terms of molecule stabilization energy (ME) and radical stabilization energy (RE), which have been calculated using the isodesmic reactions. The natural bond orbital analysis indicated that the electrodelocalization of the lone pairs of heteroatoms in the molecules and radicals affect the ME and RE values depending upon the type and site of substitution (whether N- or Y-). The variations in N−H BDEs depend upon the combined effect of molecule stabilization and radical stabilization by the various substituents.

This article reviews microscopic development of time dependent functional method and its application to chemical physics. It begins with the formulation of density functional theory. The time dependent extension is discussed after the equilibrium formulation. Its application is explained by solvation dynamics. In addition, it reviews studies of nonlinear effects on polar liquids and simple mixtures.
