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 and CO binding energies are found to be higher for the anionic Pd 4 cluster followed by cationic and neutral cluster. However, binding energies of O 2 or CO in the coadsorption complexes follow the trend: anionic > neutral > cationic. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010
