β¦ Synopsis
The results of an EHT study of the chemisorption of hydrogen on Pt, Au and mixed Pt-Au clusters (up to 19 atoms) are presented. On pure Pt clusters the adsorption sites have equal stability, while on pure Au the top site is the less favoured one.
When Au atoms substitute Pt. a destabilization of the metal-H bond is observed, while the insertion of Pt into an Au cluster leads to bond stabilization.

Surface diffusion of deuterium and hydrogen on Pt(ll1) has been investigated by laser-induced thermal desorption. As the initial surface coverage of deuterium is varied from 0.001 to 0.33, the diffusional activation energy falls from 12 to 7 kcal/mol, and the pre-exponential factor falls from 3 x lo
