It is shown that the calculated isosteric heats of adsorption vary in a range of 61 to 45 kJ/mol depending on adsorption magnitude; for Ni(12%)/γ-Al2O3, as in the case of γ-Al2O3, the heat of adsorption of chlorobenzene is higher at low degrees of filling than that of benzene. According to density functional theory quantum-chemical calculations of the structures of complexes (NinC6H5Cl) z and (Ni n C6H6) z (n = 1, 4; z = −1, 0, +1), a nickel atom can penetrate into C6H5Cl along the C-Cl bond. It is concluded that a negative charge on nickel contributes to the efficient activation of the C-Cl bond and to an increase in the rate of desorption of benzene, a key step in the hydrodechlorination of chlorobenzene.
