Hydrogenation of ethene to ethane over single-site RuN and (RuSn)N clusters is investigated using Density Functional Theory calculations. The critical transition state barrier, namely the last hydrogenation step, correlates linearly for RuN with the adsorption energies of the reactants. Addition of Sn to the Ru-clusters breaks this relation and allows for lower reaction barriers. In general, Sn is found to have pronounced effects on the geometrical and electronic properties of RuN clusters with N ≤ 12. RuN clusters preferably adopt cubic conformations with high spin states, whereas (RuSn)N have low spin states and form compact Ru cores capped with Sn atoms.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
