We present a descriptor-based analysis of HCN synthesis that uses scaling laws to predict energy trends for stable intermediates as well as for transition states. in a straight-forward manner we can explore the dominant reaction mechanism, activity trends for NH3 conversion and the selectivity to HCN vs. N2.
