New high-level quantum chemical calculations have been undertaken to understand the rates and mechanisms of the reactive and associative channels for the reactants C2H2(+) + H2. The reactive channel, which produces C2H3(+) + H, has been shown to be slightly endothermic, confirming earlier calculatio

✦ Synopsis
The competitive photocatalytic reduction of H+ and GH, at catalytic sites formed when Mo,S,(S,~H,)~-is photoreduced on colloidal TiOz in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor was studied. Comparisons of the total number of electrons transferred to both substrates as a function of pH suggest that the substrates compete for a common catalytic site. Based on analogies with homogeneous solution studies, a mechanism involving an MO(N) dimeric species as the catalytic site is suggested. The efficiency for conversion of incident light to reduced products increases with decreasing light intensity and maximizes at about seven electrons transferred per 100 photons absorbed.

The successive C-H bond dissociation energies of CH,, &Hz. C2H4, and H&O (ketene) are determined using large basis sets and a high level of correlation treatment. For CHI, C2H2, and C2H4 the computed values are in excellent agreement with experiment. Using our results we recommend 107.9 +2.0 and 96.
