Vinyl alcohol formation via catalytic β-dehydrogenation of ethanol on Ir(100)

Dehydrogenation of ethanol, CH3CH2OH, on Ir(100) was studied using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. β-dehydrogenation of ethanol to CH2CH2OH has the lowest energy barrier, 0.30eV, among the three pathways. Vinyl alcohol (VA, CH2CHOH), can be formed from dehydrogenation of CH2CH2OH by ov...
