Abstract

NOVARO, O.. Multibody effects in intermolecular interactions and reaction pathways for catalytic processes: Part I. Jean-Pierre Daudey's contributions to mexican science. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2009, vol.55, n.2, pp.84-89. ISSN 0035-001X.

We review here a series of works by Jean-Pierre Daudey in the field of multibody expansions and non-additive effects in clusters (Ar_n, Be_n, Mg_n, Ag_n) and also for the structure-activity relation in homogeneous catalysts used for the hydrogenation of olefin and the production of heavy water. These works were developed during his constant visits to México, in collaboration of one among various research groups here that benefite from his talent, expertise and generosity.

Keywords : Theoretical catalysis; multibody effects; nonadditivity; J.P Daudey's contributions.
