Toluene adsorption on VSbO4(110): A study of an electronic structure

The objective of this work is to electronically analyze toluene adsorption reactions on VSbO7(110). Thus, perpendicular and parallel toluene interactions on the different active sites of the oxide surface (O, Sb and V ions) were studied. Adsorption energy was calculated using the ASED-MO theory, whi...
