Vm. Mamaev et al., A THEORETICAL-STUDY OF THE MECHANISM OF OXIDATIVE DIHYDROGEN ADDITIONTO PALLADIUM CLUSTERS, Mendeleev communications, (6), 1997, pp. 246-248
The mechanism of dihydrogen oxidative addition to the simplest palladi
um cluster has been analysed within the framework of the reaction-path
Hamiltonian approximation; a planar dihydride complex has been found
to form without the potential energy barrier and intramolecular degene
rate exchange of the protons in the complex has been investigated.
