✦ Synopsis

Recently, we have shown that the periodic variations in the HDS activities of different transition metal sulfides can be explained by a Bond Energy Model (BEM) based on theoretically calculated metal sulfur bond energies. The model differs from many previous explanatlons for the observed Balandin-type volcano curves. Specifically, the BEM model suggests that under most conditions, the variations in HDS activities are dominated by differences in the concentration of coordinatively unsaturated sites (CUS). The model has also been used to estimate the metal sulfur-bond strength of Co-Mo-S and Ni-Mo-S and the promotion is explained in terms of the estimated bond energies for the different types of surface structures. EXAFS and TPR-S results are seen to provide experimental evidence for the BEM model. resides coordinatively unsaturated sites, surface SH groups are also present and new evidence is presented based on H MAS NMR measurements. SH groups may also play an important catalytic role in the supply of hydrogen and for acid catalyzed reactions. The relative importance of the SH groups and the CUS sites appears to depend critically on the metal-sulfur bond energy. Furthermore, the BEM model Is shown to provide a useful starting point for understanding various reactivity trends observed under different reaction conditions.

Isodesmic reactions are commonly used in ab initio studies to partially cancel errors associated with incomplete basis sets and incomplete correction for electron correlation. The errors associated with these reactions have been examined using the 6-31G\* basis set at the theoretical levels HF, MP2,
