Abstract

In order to establish the thermochemistry and detailed mechanistic steps involved in oxidation and ammoxidation reactions, quantum chemical calculations (generalized valence bond and configuration interaction), have been performed ab initio. These studies indicate a special importance of multiple surface dioxo Mo sites (possessing two Mo-O double bonds and hence spectator oxo groups) arranged together so as to provide the means for promoting the sequence of transformations.
