Abstract
Trans- and cis-crotonaldehyde (CAL) adsorption behaviors on Ir(1Â 1Â 1) were systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) method. Our results indicate that the interaction between CC bond of CAL and Ir(1Â 1Â 1) is stronger than that between CO and surface; and the configurations with both CO and CC bonds simultaneously adsorbed at Ir(1Â 1Â 1) are more stable than those with an individual CO or CC one at surface. It is very interesting to find that the stability of trans- and cis-CAL on Ir(1Â 1Â 1) reverses compared with that in gas phase. On the basis of the potential energy surface (PES) of CAL isomerization, CAL mainly exists as trans-structure in gas phase; while trans- and cis-CAL might coexist on Ir(1Â 1Â 1). The electronic interactions between CAL and Ir(1Â 1Â 1) are well explained by charge density difference. Different coverages of CAL on Ir(1Â 1Â 1) indicates that the interactions between CAL and Ir(1Â 1Â 1) decrease with coverage. This work provides important information for the further study of the selective hydrogenation mechanism of CAL.
