Bond and electronic relaxation dynamics of graphene, gold clusters, and water ice by Zhang, Xi

“…Results of transition state calculations of the carbon monoxide oxidization confirmed that smaller clusters (Au13 and cage Au12) reduced the activation energy much more than larger clusters (Au55 and cage Au42), since the significantly red shift of the valence band of ultra-lowly coordinated clusters makes the valence 5d electrons ultra-highly catalytic. …”
