The different reactivity of two first row cations selenium and germanium, in activating the reduction of,nitrous oxide by carbon monoxide, was theoretically investigated at the density functional level using large basis sets and pseudopotential for metal atoms. In the two examined cases, the reaction mechanisms appeared to be quite different. Germanium shows a very good performance as far as thermodynamic and kinetic aspects are concerned. Selenium, experimentally recognized as an inactive catalyst, was instead found potentially able to catalyze the process through a mechanism of spin orbit coupling involving species with doublet multiplicity.
