Associative versus dissociative binding of CO to 4d transition metal trimers: A density functional study

Associative versus dissociative binding of CO to 4d transition metal trimers: A density functional study

Density functional calculations were performed to determine equilibrium geometrical structures, transition states and relative energies for M3 clusters (M = Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag) reacting with CO, leading to proposed reaction pathways. For the Nb3, Mo3, and Tc3 clusters, the lowest energy stru...
