The results are reported of a theoretical study of the dissociation dynamics of D2 and Hz on a Cu, cluster, based on a new empirical potential energy function. The results show that the dissociation rate constants as well as the cross sections from calculations on the nonrigid cluster were nearly eq

โฆ Synopsis
We present initial results from a theoretical study of the dissociation of Dz on the three most stable high symmetry isomers of Ni,,. The cluster's nearest neighbor distance (NND) was determined by energy minimization using the corrected effective medium theory. The critical D2/Ni13 multidimensional reactive potential energy surface used the form and parameters found in the study of H,+Ni(klm)-ZH(a)+Ni (klm) with (kZm)= (loo), ( ) and (11 l), differing only in geometrical arrangement of the atoms. Rate constants for the dissociation of D2 are sensitive to isomer, even though all clusters have 12 exterior atoms and about the same NND.

We report evidence for precursor dynamics in the dissociative chemisorption of Dz on Ni( 100) partially covered by CO. Effcient energy transfer from incident Dz to surface CO and the transient bonding of Dz to CO-modified Ni sites are invoked to explain the significant role played by precursor speci
