Abstract

- Rhn + N2O reaction study must consider the geometry of the reactants and spin.
- N2O reduction mechanism catalysed by Rhn clusters ends up breaking the N2O bond.
- The N2O activation never occurs through the NN bond rupture.
- Most of Rh clusters capture N2O and there are some spin states that also activate it.
- The spin states transfer enough charge from Rh to N2O to break the N2O bond.
