Compensation effect and volcano curve in toluene hydrogenation catalyzed by transition metal sulfides

Abstract

Guernalec, N. Geantet, C. Cseri, T. Vrinat, M. Toulhoat, H. Raybaud, P.Within the framework of volcano curves, a kinetic study of toluene hydrogenation catalyzed by transition metal sulfides highlights the variation of the apparent kinetic parameters as a function of the ab initio sulfur-metal bond energy descriptor and sulfo-reductive reaction conditions
