Abstract

The analysis of nonadditive effects in small palladium clusters via LCAO‐MO‐SCF calculations using the nonempirical pseudopotential model is presented. The results are tentatively correlated with previous studies on various metal clusters (Li, Be, Mg, etc.) for which a good knowledge of multibody terms has provided a valuable guide for understanding the cluster stabilities and their chemisorption capacity.
