III.InteractionofH2withPd(111)andCu(111)SurfacesTheinteractionofH2withthePd10andCu10clustermodelspermitstotesttheadequacyofthepresentcomputationalapproachbecausethosesystemshavebeenstudiedextensivelybothfromexperimentandtheoreticalpointsofview.25TheapproachofH2withafixedgeometryabovethePd10BS,FS,andHSsitesleadsalwaystoaminimumonthisparticularsectionofthepotentialenergysurfacebutwithenergyalwayshigherthanthatoftheseparated,H2,andPd10,systems.InthecaseofBSandHSsites,theminimumappearsat1.69and1.52Åabovethesurface,suggestingperhapstheexistenceofpossibleprecursorstates,especiallybecausetheminimumabovetheFSsiteisstructurallyquitedifferent,appearingat4.79Åabovethesurface.Withthisfixedgeometry,theenergyofthesystemistoohighabovetheH2+Pd10dissociationlimitby24.4,24.9,and17.3kcal/molfortheBS,HS,andFS,respectively.TheoptimizationofthepositionoftheHatomsleadstothreedifferentconfigurationswiththeHatomswellseparatedandsituatedclosetotheactivesitescorrespondingtothestartinggeometry.TheHatomsarelocatedwellwithintheclustersurfaceanditcansafelybeconcludedthattheclustermodelisabletoproperlyrepresentdissociativechemisorption.RelevantcalculatedparametersarepresentedinTable1andcomparedtothosereportedrecentlybyDongandHafner26usingperiodicslabdensityfunctionalcalculationswithinthePerdewetal.47generalizedgradientapproximation,GGA,andaplanewavebasisset.Despitethedifferentmodelsused,clustersvsslab,differentexchange-correlationfunctionals,B3LYPvsGGA,andbasissets,localatomicorbitalsvsdelocalizedplanewaves,theresultsreportedinTable1havestrongsimilarities.Bothcalculationspredictthatthedissociativechemisorptionoccursinallsites,thatfinalstructureontheBSisthelessfavored,andthatthefinalstructureswithHnearFSandHSareenergeticallysimilar.Likewise,thehydrogen-hydrogenandhydrogen-surfacedistancesfollowthesametrend,eveniftheHatomsarecompletelyfreetomoveintheclustercalculationswhiletheirpositionabovethesurfaceintheslabmodelhassomeconstraintstopreserveperiodicity.Apointthatdeservesfurthercommentconcernsthemagnitudeofthecalculatedadsorptionenergies.TheclusterB3LYPcalculatedenergiesarelargerthattheslabGGAenergies,andthismaybeeitherduetotheuseofadifferentfunctionalortoaclusteredgeeffect.Inanycase,thiswillnotaffecttheconclusionsofthepresentworkthatarebasedonthecomparisonofdifferentsubstrateswithinthesamecomputationalapproach.Similarly,thepresentcalculatedinteractionenergiesarenotcorrectedforpossiblebasissetsuperpositionerrors,BSSE,becausethemainconclu-sionsofthisworkarebasedonqualitativetrendsand,hence,accurateinteractionenergyvaluesarenotrequired.Inaddition,therelativeenergydifferencesarelargeenoughtopreservethequalitativetrendaftercorrectingthesevaluesbymeansofthe

Finally,weconsiderthefulloptimizationoftheclustermodelandoftheclustermodelwiththeinteractingHatoms.ThefinalstructuresforPd10andCu10aresurprisinglydifferent.ForPd10,theoptimizedstructureisclosetotheinitialgeometryobtainedbycuttingaclusterfromthebulk,cf.Figure2a.TheenergygainobtainedbyrelaxingcompletelyallCartesiancoordinatesofallclusteratomsisfairlysmall,?6kcal/mol,andthedistancesarechangedbyasmuchas0.1Å,affectingmainlythefirsttosecondlayersandthesecondlayerintraatomicdistances.TheC3Vsymmetryispreserved,albeitnotimposedbythecalculation.Interestingly,thefinalgeometryofthedifferentPd10-H2clusterscorrespondingtotheinteractionofH2ontheBS,FS,andHSsitesisalsoclosetotheoneobtainedbyoptimizingonlytheHatoms.Theonlynoticeablechangesappearinthemetal-metaldistancesandalmostmaintainthegeometryoptimizedforPd10.Theadsorptionenergygainduetogeometryrelaxationisverysimilartothatofthebareclusterand,asaconsequence,theEadsvaluesforthefullyoptimizedstructuresdifferfromthosereportedinTable1by0.5to1.5kcal/mol,dependingontheactivesite.ThesecalculationssuggestthatsmallPdclustersmaycloselyresemblethebulkmetalnotonlystructurallybutalsofromthechemicalandcatalyticpointofview.
ContrarytothatofPd10,thefinaloptimizedstructureofCu10iscompletelydifferentfromthatobtainedbycuttingaclusterfromthebulk.Thereareseveralarbitrarywaystodescribethegeometryofthisoptimizedcluster.Forinstance,itmaybeseenasbeingcomposedoffourlayers,eachhavingthestructureofthecorrespondingCuclusterwiththesamenumberofatoms.Thesecondlayercontainsfivemetalatomsandadoptsanearlyplanarstructureformingthreetriangles,thisispreciselytheoptimizedstructureofCu5asreportedbydifferentauthors.48,49Thethirdlayercontainsthreeatomsinatriangularshape,andthefirstandfourthcontainasingleatomontopofatriangle,thusformingtetrahedralunits.Despitethehugestructuralmodification,theenergyrelaxationisrathermodest,?21kcal/mol.BecausethefinaloptimizedgeometryofthisCu10clusterbearsnoresemblancetotheinitialstructure,theinteractionofH2withthisclusterhasnotbeenconsidered.
