Metallic cluster catalysts have many thermodynamically-accessible isomers with diverse active sites and low reaction barriers, and lately a strong hypothesis emerged that the many catalysts states collectively drive the catalysis. However, it remained a hypothesis that catalyst isomerization is actually kinetically feasible in reaction conditions. Using high-temperature dynamics simulations and sampling a range of orientations and vibrational energy distributions, we probe how thermal effects and molecular events affect cluster catalyst dynamics. We show that even such a delicate affair as a dissociation or scattering of a methane molecule on the heavy and thus slow Pt13 cluster triggers substantial isomerization of the catalyst, far beyond thermal at 700 K. A kinetic coupling between the methane activity and cluster catalyst dynamics is observed. In return, the thermal dynamics of the cluster affects the methane reaction and scattering probabilities. Hence, molecular events at the surfaces of fluxional cluster catalysts should facilitate population of an ensemble of the catalyst states in reaction conditions, with implications for available active sites, reaction mechanisms, and apparent rates.
