Solid aluminiumalkyl-based isomerization catalysts. Surface acidity and catalytic activity

Isomerization catalysts with high activity and selectivity were prepared by chemical anchoring of aluminiumethyldichloride on the surface of inorganic oxides. Surface acidity was studied by calorimetric and IR spectroscopy methods, and was found to correspond well with catalytic activity for m-xylene isomerization.

Software news and updates. Basis-set completeness profiles in two dimensions

A two-electron basis-set completeness profile is proposed by analogy with the one-electron profile introduced by D. P. Chong (Can J Chem 1995, 73, 79). It is defined as Y(alpha, beta) = sigmam sigman (Galpha(1)Gbeta(2)/(1/r12)/ psim(1)psin(2)) (psim(1)psin(2)/r12/Galpha(1)Gp(2)) and motivated by the expression for the basis-set truncation correction that occurs in the framework of explicitly correlated methods (Galpha is a scanning Gaussian-type orbital of exponent alpha and [psim] is the orthonormalized one-electron basis under study). The two-electron basis-set profiles provide a visual assessment of the suitability of basis sets to describe electron-correlation effects. Furthermore, they provide the opportunity to assess the quality of the basis set as a whole--not only of the individual angular momentum subspaces, as is the case for the one-electron basis-set profiles. The two-electron completeness profiles of the cc-pVXZ (X = D, T, Q), aug-cc-pVTZ, cc-pCVTZ, and SVP-auxiliary basis sets for the carbon atom are presented as illustrative examples.
