Hybrid density functional calculations have been carried out for AuO2, AuCO, Au13, Au13O2, Au13CO, Au13H2and Au55clusters to discuss the catalytic behavior of Au clusters with different sizes and structures for CO oxidation. From these calculations, it was found that O2and CO could adsorb onto several Au model systems. Especially, icosahedral Au13cluster has a relatively weak interaction with O2while both icosahedral and cubooctahedral Au13clusters have interactions (∼20kcal/mol) with CO. These findings suggest that the surfaces of the Au clusters are the active sites for the catalytic reactions on the supported and unsupported Au catalysts.
