## Abstract The adsorption of NO molecules on small Pd~__n__~ (__n__ = 1−6) clusters has been studied using first‐principles density‐functional theory. Three adsorption sites were considered: vertex (on–top), bridge, and hollow. Adsorption is strong, ranging from 2 to 3 eV. In all cases NO adsorbs

Density functional calculations are used to determine structures and stabilities of Pd 6 and hydride complexes Pd 6 (H) n (n ¼ 2; 4). Calculations show that a triplet state of Pd 6 with an elongated octahedral structure is the ground state and the Pd 6 cluster can activate the second H 2 molecule. B
We present the results of a density functional calculation on adsorption of O 2 , CO, and their coadsorption at various sites of neutral, cationic, and anionic Pd 4 clusters. For all the clusters, the dissociative adsorption of oxygen sitting on Pd bridge sites is found to be preferable. Both O 2 an
