Abstract
We present a study based on first-principles calculations of the adsorption of CO on selected equilibrium configurations of MAunO2 + (M = Ti, Fe; n = 1, 6, 7) complexes resulting from the adsorption of O2 on doped cationic gold clusters MAun +. Empirical rules for the formation of CO2-MAunO+ complexes are outlined. The desorption energy of CO2 is calculated. The adsorption of a second CO molecule on the residual MAunO+ complex leads in some cases to the formation of CO2-MAun +. The desorption of a second CO2 molecule brings back to the initial doped gold cluster MAun +.
