Modeling of the interaction of an H2 molecule with the surface of the Pd21 cluster in different spin states was performed using the DFT/PBE scalar relativistic approximation. The spin multiplicity of the system significantly affects the mechanism of adsorption, its parameters, and migration of hydrogen atoms. The H atoms can migrate over the cluster surface with low barriers (1.6 kcal mol–1). The complex with C2v symmetry, wherein the H atoms occupy adjacent fcc sites, is the most energetically stable.
