Abstract

Generalized Valence Bond (GVB) and Local Density Functional (LDF) calculations were carried out to explore the influence of electronic structure on the metal-support interaction in Pt/γAl2O3. On the basis of GVB calculations it was found that ethylene can form either di-σ- or π complexes on Pt depending on the oxidation state of the metal. The LDF calculations showed that chemisorbed Pt transfers charge to γ-Al2O3. These results and experimental observations led us to propose a model of the metal-support interaction in which the Pt exists in two oxidation states for reduced Pt/ Al2O3 catalysts.

2. The GVB calculations used a relativistic effective core potential double-ζ basis for Pt (Noel, J.O., Hay, P.J., Inorg. Chem. 21, 14 (1982)), a valence double-ζ basis sets for C, and an unscaled triple-ζ basis for H (T.H. Dunning, Jr., P.J. Hay, In Modern Theoretical Chemistry: Methods of Electronic Structure, edited by H.F. Schaefer III (Plenum, New York, 1977) vol. 3, chapt. 4, pp. 79–127). Geometry optimizations were carried out at the Hatree-Fock level with the Gaussian 82 package (J.S. Binkley, M.J. Frisch, D.J. Defrees, K. Raghavachari, R.A. Whiteside, H.B. Schelgel, E.M. Fuder, J.A. Pople, GAUSSIAN 82, Dept. Of Chem., Carnegie- Mellon University, Pittsburg Pa, 1983). The correlated wavefunctions used to determine bond energies were optimized using the GVB3 multiconfigurational self consistent field program (L.G. Yaffe, W.A. Goddard III, Phys. Rev. A, 13, 1682 (1976)).CrossRefGoogle Scholar
