Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The structure of the alkyne adsorption complex on the copper surface is favorable for the stereoselective formation of cis isomers in the hydrogenation reaction. The pathway of dissociative hydrogen adsorption on copper is reported. It is assumed that the electron-donating promoter acts to reduce the electron work function of the copper catalyst by partially covering or “decorating” the surface of the copper particles.
