Abstract: Pd2-CO cluster model has been investigated by means of ab initio calculations with metallic basis set of Pd atom ζ mECP , Based on the Metallic State Principle and Bond-Prepared State Principle,Pd2-CO cluster has been carefully studied in order to model the bridged CO on Pd surface. The calculation results showed that an electron should be excited from the occupied Pd2(5s+5s)orbital to the empty Pd2(5s一5s)orbital to be prepared for the bonding with CO. This excitation not only reduced the repulsion between Pd2(5s+5s) and CO5σ,but also facilitated the interaction between Pd2(5s一5s)and CO2π*.

Key words: Bond-Prepared State Principle, Metallic State Principle, Ab initio, Pd2-CO cluster, Cluster-surface analogy
