Resumen:
The reactivity and structure of bimetallic nano?arrangements deposited on Au(111) surfaceshave been investigated on the basis of DFT. Several bimetallic nanostructures have been investi- gated: wires and clusters with different Pd:Pt ratios. Modifications in the material reactivity due to electronic, chemical and geometrical effects were evaluated in terms of energetics, charge redis- tribution and the densities of states projected onto the involved atoms to provide a deeper insight into the material behavior. Additionally, we discussed the nanostructure reactivity for the hydrogen reaction by analysis of the behavior of the adsorbed intermediate (Hads).
