Abstract

A new density-based embedded cluster approach that efficiently bridges the gap between periodic DFT and quantum chemical cluster calculations is presented. For the benchmark system CO/Pd(111), not only the adsorption energy of the CO molecule is reproduced but the energy of a localized electronic transition corresponding to a 1(5σ/1π→2π*) excitation within the adsorbed molecule is also determined.
