Abstract

Metal oxides have structurally complex surfaces on which a variety of adsorption site types can occur, including cation sites, anion sites, oxygen vacancy sites, and Brønsted acid sites. These sites can catalyze the catalytic transformation of organic molecules via diverse routes, thus enabling H abstraction, O abstraction, C–C bond formation, and other reactions. This Perspective provides an update on recent advances and future directions for various organic reactions on metal oxide catalyst surfaces, particularly for C–H activation of alkanes and for C–C bond formation with organic oxygenate reactants. We put emphasis on the molecular scale details, on the active site structures required to enable the formation of kinetically relevant transition states, energetic descriptors, as well as contemporary ideas to enable low activation energies. This progress has been enabled by specialized experiments and the increased capabilities of modern electronic structure calculations.
