Abstract

A combination of experimental surface science techniques and density functional theory calculations has been employed to understand the adsorption and surface chemistry of a variety of C4 cyclic oxygenates on the (111) surface of Pd. These C4 cyclic oxygenates represent important probe molecules for production of chemicals from biomass-derived carbohydrates. The surface level studies of these intermediates reveal that adsorption and reactivity trends are determined by ring size/strain, degree of unsaturation, nature of the oxygenate function, and composition of the metal surface.
