Calculations atomic gold

The total electron density at the nucleus p(0) depends on the nature of the chemical bonding. Positive contributions to p(0) arise from the atomic 6s populations of the molecular orbitals on the gold ion, while a decrease in p(0) is caused by the atomic bd populations due to their shielding effects on s electrons. The relative magnitudes of the various contributions are known from the results of relativistic free-ion self-consistent field calculations for gold and for other d transition elements. The atomic 6p populations, on the other hand, yield only small contributions both by shielding of s electrons and by their relativistic density at the nucleus. Hence p(0) and consequently the isomer shift will mainly depend on the atomic 6s and 5[Pg.281]

The UPS indicated structure change is associated with size reduction as the discontinuous gold film is transformed into rod-shape and spherical particles with size of 5-10 nm. Accordingly, with size reduction the activity displayed in CO oxidation is also altered the rate increased from 6.7 X 10 to 2 X 10 molmin cm . Consequently, not only the gold-reducible oxide interaction is responsible for the increased activity, but also size reduction. Indeed, small clusters themselves are able to activate the reaction components shown by theoretical calculations performed for 10-15-atom clusters, which can activate easily oxygen [177,200], but in real catalyst, even at the smallest active ensemble, it consists of a few hundreds atoms.
