Abstract: The reduction of N2O by CO was investigated at the level of B3LYP/6-311+G(2d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d), using FeO+ as a model catalyst. The calculation results show that FeO+ is an effective catalyst which can pick up the O atom from N2O and then deliver it to CO to accomplish the overall O-transfer. Two species, Fe(O2)+ and OFeO+, were located during the reactions. While Fe(O2)+ is found to be more stable than OFeO+; the latter is shown to be more active than the former.

Key words: FeO+, O-transfer, Reduction of N2O
