✦ Synopsis
The structures of different fmt-row bases and their protonated species are compared using ab initio quantum-mechanical techniques at the 6-3 lG* and 6-3 1 +G (d, p) levels of accuracy. A topological analysis of the Laplacian of the electronic charge density offers quantitative information on bond activation upon protonation. We have shown that protonation can be accompanied by bond breaking in cases where the basic center is highly electronegative as in alcohols or fluoroalkanes. In bidentate bases, protonation produces opposite effects depending on the center which undergoes protonation.

## Abstract The mechanism of HH σ bond activation catalyzed by VO(^1^A~1~/^3^A′) has been investigated by using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6‐311G(2d, p) level and the single‐point energy calculations were done at the CCSD/6‐311G (2d, p)//B3LYP/6‐311G(2d, p) level of theory using the ge
