A theoretical study was done for the on-top coordination mode of the Ž . ethylene molecule chemisorbed over the Pt 100 surface, which was modeled by the Pt Au and PtAu systems. In this on-top reaction mode, the C-C axis is parallel to the 2 2 Pt-Pt, Pt-Au, or Au-Au axis, respectively. Calculations

✦ Synopsis
The basis-set dependence and quasirelativistic and nonrelativistic effects on the Au-C H interaction are examined at the ab initio level. The effects on the 2 4 interaction energies are modulated by f-type polarization orbitals, using 19-VE quasirelativistic pseudopotentials. Oscillation in the equilibrium Au-C distance as well as in the interaction energy are sensitive to the electron correlation potential. These Ž . effects are evaluated at several levels of theory, ranging from MP2 to CCSD T . The nature of the Au-C H interaction is related to a simple dispersion expression involving 2 4
the individual properties of each component and its long-distance behavior.
