The effects of size are examined from some properties of model metal clusters by using molecular orbital calculations. Electronic effects were examined for a variety of clusters up to 79 atoms for Au, Ru, Rh, and Pd. In this size range, the binding energy and density of states change drastically with size. We find that p orbitals play a role in the bonding of these clusters, which increases with size. The charge distribution in these clusters results in excess surface electrons as a result of narrower surface bands. Adsorption energies of H2, C2, or 02 molecules on different clusters show a widely varying size dependence, which can be related to electronic properties of the cluster. Theaddition of ligands to a hypothetical cluster Rh6 (CO),(x= 2, 6, 12, 16) changes the metal atom DOS to reflect properties of a smaller bare metal cluster.
