Abstract: Adsorption of Cu, Ni, Ag, and Pd atoms on Fs and F+s oxygen vacancy sites as well as on regular O2− centers of the MgO(001) surface has been studied by means of gradient-corrected density functional calculations using cluster models embedded in a matrix of model potentials and point charges. Scalar relativistic effects have been taken into account for adsorbed Ag and Pd species. The electronic structure, geometric parameters, and binding energies of the adsorption complexes have been calculated and analyzed with reference to the electronic properties of the vacancy sites and the metal atoms in question. For all adsorbates considered, adsorption is found to be stronger on Fs sites by 1–2.4 eV compared with regular O2− sites, with Pd and Ni forming the most stable complexes. On the F+s site the single valence electron of Cu and Ag atoms couples with an unpaired electron of the vacancy forming a covalent bond. As a result the adsorption energy of these atoms on F+s is by more than 1 eV stronger than on the Fs sites; on the other hand, the adsorption energies of Ni and Pd are reduced on F+s by 0.5 eV and 1.3 eV respectively. The whole series of M/F+s complexes is characterized by rather uniform values of adsorbate–substrate distances (1.5–1.7 Å) and adsorption energies (2.2–2.6 eV).
