A recent experimental result shows that Pt L-edge XANES spectra for Pt small cluster are sensitive to CO adsorption. In the present study we try to extract useful information about geometric and electronic structures of these cluster by applying a full multiple-scattering approach for the XANES analyses. Detailed analyses provide us with information that some extent of change transfer plays an important role for the CO adsorption. We also discuss the plausible adsorption site on the Pt clusters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
