Abstract

The structure and stability of small clusters InnPd4 – n and AgnPd4 – n (n = 0–4) were calculated at the DFT PBE level. Bimetallic clusters InPd3, AgPd3 and Ag2Pd2 have tetrahedral structures, unlike bimetallic clusters In2Pd2, In3Pd and Ag3Pd, which are planar. In–Pd clusters are more stable than monoand bimetallic Ag–Pd clusters.
