DFT calculations of the CO adsorption on Mn, Fe, Co, and Au deposited at MgO (1Â 0Â 0) and CdO (1Â 0Â 0)

► Adsorption properties of Mn, Fe, Co, and Au atoms adsorbed on various sites of MgO (1 0 0) and CdO (1 0 0) surfaces. ► The characteristics of the CO adsorption on these supported metal atoms. ► This paper provides a detailed account of both geometrical and energetic data as well of the CO/TM/MO surface complexes.
