Selectivity of Surface Defects for the Activation of Supported Metal Atoms: Acetylene Cyclotrimerization on Pd1/MgO

The authors report on the results of d. functional cluster model calcns. on thermodynamical and kinetical aspects of the acetylene cyclotrimerization reaction occurring on single Pd atoms deposited with soft-landing techniques on MgO(100) thin films. The different elementary steps of the reaction as well as the transition states involved were studied in detail for Pd atoms adsorbed on different sites of MgO to understand the role of the substrate in this reaction. The anal. of the complete reaction path indicates that only basic defect sites such as neutral and charged O vacancies (F and F+ centers) located at the MgO terraces can activate supported Pd atoms for this process.
