Paper published in Nature Catalysis!

Our paper on the fundamental relations that determine C-O bond activation over oxides was just published in Nature Catalysis! This is the successful conclusion of 3 years of hard work by a great group of people. We couldn't have done it without our theorist collaborators, Glen Jenness, now at ERDC and, especially, Alexander Mironenko, now at UChicago, and soon to be assistant professor at UIUC!
